I find it a problem when a list devoted to beekeeping makes points like this. I have no problem with the point about using medications properly, particularly as alternatives are debated. However, a blanket statement of this sort cannot properly be refuted or debated on a Beekeeping List - it involves paradigms of human endeavour on the planet and the politics of wealth and power to suggest two major dimensions. I would be grateful if members would recognise this. -- James Kilty
