>>The grass Miscanthus looks as if it
would provide a more efficient energy source

I have heard grasses, even waste wood clippings, straws could be soon 
utilized.  Sure is an interesting time in agriculture right now, there 
hasnt been any encouraging noose for such a long time.  
It will surely be interesting to see how everything unravels.

I am also looking at this whole "promise" with a pinch of scepticism.  
But I get more of a kick out of forward thinking, dont you?

I do believe, aside from all this talk, the biggest challenge is not 
necessarily honey crop price, but rather keeping my bees well and alive!
