>You are super intelligent and make huge efforts to de-engineer ' scientific' reports to show they are not scientific. When presented with an intensely advocated alternative approach to beekeeping you resort only to racism - assuming excessive bodily hair is a characteristic of some alien race embedded in the US.
James' amusing description did not suggest racism to me at all. Rather, it evoked an image of the back-to-nature, off-the-grid, modern hippie, "I just wanna save the bees" mentality common among many post-CCD beekeepers.
Not that there's anything wrong with that ... :)
