Well, when we consider how many times the 'two feet or two miles' myth
has been repeated here -- as if it were gospel rather than a simplistic
rule designed for the inexperienced and the unobservant -- it seems
obvious that you wouldn't be insulting many readers at all.  It seems
many, if not most beekeepers, including many on this list, lack a basic
understanding of normal and obvious bee behaviours.
