>>BUT YOU CAN NOT IMPORT POLLINATION. I thought I saw some pictures of tubes 2-3' long containing bees that had been imported into the US from Australia for pollination. Bob also wrote some time ago about the attempts to open up the southern US borders to beekeepers from Mexico. Mexican beekeepers would gladly come into the US to pollinate. If we continue importing more and more of everything here in the US, it will eventually catch up to us leaving a bad aftertaste. The fact that so few Americans are concerned about the huge trade and federal deficits and personal debts in the US is bewildering to me. It's like the parents and grandparents of today don't give a darn about the mountain of debt they saddling their children and grandchildren with. At least you can't afford much of a deficit if you are making a living from beekeeping...
