And some work a foot to keep the law just as it is or even
expand it!

Well, a lot of beekeepers and queen breaders ARE being
counted. And they want the importation ban kept in place.
 
Take for instance, the American Beekeeping Federation.
I got a mailing from them (I'm NOT a member & sure won't
bee now) that outlined their basic "planks" and I'm sure
most people already know this but they (as an 'official'
stance of their organization) are strongly against allowing
the importation of queens and/or bee semen.
 
Needless to say, I was taken back a little.  And I can't
fully understand this position taken by such a national
organization.  Can anyone explain this to me?  (I did note
that several of their leaders were queen breeders, is there
a tie here?)
