Bill said "could this be a conspiracy...allow beekeepers to
use organophosphates - but not anyone else-"

This summer I had occasion to learn that the list of permitted
organophosphates is very long.  For example, I am advised that every apple
orchard in NYS uses one (ok, may choose to use one) for a particular bug
that is resistant to all else, and the same is true for every grapeyard.  It
would not surprise me if "the list" is more or less deliberately
unpublished.
