Hi All,

> A term like "chemical use"
convicts every beekeeper who has ever added anything to a hive,
including wood , nails or the white death, sugar. It also convicts the
bees since they also bring chemicals into the hive, like sucrose,
fructose, glucose and water.

I think most of us here, at least myself, are completely aware of everything being a chemical and of which particular chemicals are
the ones being used in a hive. I would also hope we know which ones the honey bees would not normally use in a hive or bring in on
their own.

>(how can we be chemical free when we are composed of
chemicals?)
>

We can all split hairs such as you are doing but I think we are discussing Chemicals that are deadly and kill and are not
necessarily necessary in a hive. This type of tactic is an attempt to side track an issue of some concern.
