Well Jim, I don't mean to be contrary, but I read the South
Carolina map (which I know better than Georgia) and smiled. You
made my point!
Take a look at it, if you would please. Look at counties 51
(Horry), 67 (Marion), 89 (Williamsburg), and 27 (Clarenden). I'll
give you a piece of background information. This is where about
95% of the SC migratory bees are kept in season.
Now notice that 3 of 4 of these counties have NO beetles found,
despite a concentration of inspections in these counties (to certify
migratories to move).
Your turn to read and weep.... ;o)
