I can only say, "THANK YOU!"

No thanks required, just be kind and appease the bees! And the best way to do that is to go on a one man crusade against Seven Dust. I've attempted to keep bees once, enjoyed it, and learned as much as I could. But I was loaned a hive to begin with and the guy had to get out of the industry due to developing an allergy to bee stings.

In that time I learned all it takes is one neighbor in the hood using Seven Dust to destroy every hive within a 5 mile radius of his yard. Liquid 7 is not nearly as destructive. Bees are hairy, and when they get the dust on them and return to the hive as social insects they are bathed by the other bees. So please if you love nature, and the bees help you, if you need them to pollinate your vegetable or fruit crops, then please please don't use Seven Dust on anything and urge your friends to discontinue its use as well. The kindest thing besides that which you can do is to plant red clover. It sustains the bees and makes the honey taste better as well.

I'll buzz off now.
