In a message dated 96-09-26 11:13:33 EDT, you write: << Will you get involved? [log in to unmask] Dave Green, PO Box 1200, Hemingway, SC 29554 >> Dave's comments were well reasoned and remarkably sound. Have you called local newspapers? If you want help restructuring Dave's comments to improve chances that a paper will use it for a story, please let me know. Was a newspaper reporter for six years, and would be happy to donate some time to the BEE cause, if Dave will allow me to rearrange (not re-write) what he wrote. Then whoever is in a similarly threatened area can send this to the newspapers. I can't guaranteed articles, but I can help increase the chance they'll use it, and if they use it, your chances of saving your hives will increase. Let me know! Cecile [log in to unmask]
