Beekeepers:

The remarks posted were NOT from Allen Dick. They were from Dick Allen.
We are two separate people. Allen, I believe, lives in Alberta. I live in
Alaska. Allen and I have never met one another. I offered the comments as
food for thought. I was not aware that many seem to have extremely
sensitive feelings about the list and I sincerely apologize if I have
offended anyone by the post. The post was made by ME and not the person who
sent me the email remarks. I did not have his permission to post it and I
hope he, too, is not offended by me posting it anonymously. I do agree with
his assessment that much of the posting on Bee-L is simply opinion that is
indeed often presented as fact. His thoughts do mirror some of those that I
often have in reading the posts. That was why I made the post. Once again,
if I have offended anyone, please accept my apologies.
Regards,
Dick
