Hi Garth.  I respect your thoughts and admire your thinking ability. Please do not
think for a second that I am opposed to your expressed opinions.  I just think that
opinions may have unintended consequences.
     I think that the last line on your post does a great disservice to the
beekeeping industry in particular and to humanity in general.  Beekeeping goes far
beyond eating honey by sensitive consumers.
Best regards.
