Hi all

However, you CAN keep bees without chems if you accept that
you may have to restock your hives with packages every year
or two. These bees may be raised with the aid of chems, but
they will unlikely bring anything but a trace.

So, this type of beekeeping is possible, and should be
certifiable as "Organic".

Reply:
So you are telling beekeepers to live in a time warp loop,
repeating every two to three years restocking of hives,
with bees produced with chemicals and kept on large combs
then.

Yes, this type of system may be possible for a while. But
only for a while.

So what happens when the treated source then dries up? Both
the supplier and buyers go under?

Somehow, I think there must be something better to give to
industry for long haul for organics. Sad.
