As an industry we must quantify the value of honeybees otherwise it is
handwaving. Honey is good, raw honey is better, local honey is good for your
allergies, honeybees are valuable, and the sun circles the earth are all
intuitive but possible all are wrong. One of the assertions has been proved
wrong. Until this industry can quantify its value we will increasingly become
marginalized and become a delight for the fringe few that go to health food
stores.
