Hello all;
    I have a question for Allen Dick. I ask it here because I think the answer may have some bearing on the discussion. My intent is not to be inflamatory or to be offensive. 
    I remember sitting in a bee meeting several years ago where Allen kind of got on his soap box and talked at length about the movement of bees and the correlating spread of diseases and problems. As I recall, he kind of shook his head and said we need to develop means to get away from this type of beekeeping. It has been too long ago now to recall specifics of what was said but I recall the intent was to discourage the wholesale movement of bees. This appears to be the opposite of what is being said now.
    My question is: What has changed your view on this, Allen? or...was I totally off base with my impression of your comments of yore?  :)

    Sincerely Leon Christensen.
