"my point is simply almost every bee related disease and pest since 1980 has
come from
movement of bees and hives. no other ag related industry in the nation
allows this kind of
uncontrolled movement.  geez even the movement of nursery trees and shrubs
has much tighter
oversight then this circus."

Well, I enormously dislike the certainty of the spread of any bee
pest/disease for one area of the country to another via the pollinators.  In
fact, I consider that the pollinators are effectively putting a tax on the
rest of us by forcing us to incur expenses and suffer losses well before we
would otherwise have to do so.

Nonetheless, if the choices are to suffer the 'early' arrival of the
pests/diseases or have some government 'regulate', I'll take the early
arrival anytime.  We need less government in our lives, not more.

When is the last time some government authority truly did you a favor?
