At least you got a meal for your efforts. What else was accomplished besides 
Bayer dancing around the issues?

I was involved in union activities of the Kansas City Teamsters union for 31 
years. We met with the other side on numerous occasions. We always had at 
least one lawyer present when discussing issues as a fool has himself as a 
lawyer. You surely had a lawyer present to lay out the issues or was the get 
together only a bunch of great beekeepers & Bayer picking up the tab?

The neonicotinoids are a serious issue for me. I see no humor when 
discussing the subject.

I have done many posts on the neonicotinoids and vine crops. One on pumpkin 
pollination last month.

What went on at the meeting?

What issues were resolved?

Ps. this is beginning to look like a besource bee discussion not a BEE-L 
discussion.
