All around it is just a conflict of interest. There are few individuals
who would be swayed in one way or fashion by being both a private
beekeeper and public beekeeping official. Its like being a contruction
inspector and contractor at the same time. Too easy to turn a check at
your own problems. Also too easy to create your own market by making it
harder on others to grow.

I am not saying anyone here or anyone in particular at all did,
this...however the conflict of interest is still unsurmountable by all
but the most honest and examplary people.
