> The list tends to concentrate on the interests of the large commercial beekeepers and not on the much larger number of hobbyists who maintain honeybees with the local mix of wildlife.
Maybe, but I wager the majority of contributors are not commercial beekeepers just as in the general population the lion's share is part-timers. What is true, however, is that in this country at least, the two cannot be separated. We share all the same territory, the same environmental issues, the same gene pool, the same problems, the same rewards.
