Hello Pete,
Another example (other than ticks) might be the current West Nile issue in
Texas.

Birds are the source. Mosquitoes the vector.
Then people get West Nile.
West Nile Virus is a problem because of mosquitoes
Spraying is the logical solution and the CDC says the problem should end
this fall.
reduce the vector.
Apparently mass vaccinations are not going to happen. 30 cases in Missouri &
Kansas with two dead.
Not even making the news with those numbers.

Getting rid or reducing numbers of the vector makes sense.

Is Monsanto going to distribute to commercial beekeepers their virus
solution free of charge to "save the bees" or another $150 a gallon HBH
situation?

Fuel prices highest in history. Sugar prices highest in history. Honey
imports highest in history. U.S. beekeeping areas still in drought.
