A nice spirit of rebellion, keeping bees when it's illegal...

Indy,
Nice article.

Although I'm not sure about the whole idea that because New York city beeks not experiencing CCD, that it equates into some idea that they have the answer for saving the bee industry. I wonder what beek made those statements.

" For one, New York City's bees are mostly free of disease, which makes them invaluable in countering the outbreak of CCD.


Bahahahaha!!!! I think they are just souping it up a little trying to get that law changed, I might have the cure also since I never had CCD  :-P , "got some CCD resistant queens for just $50 each, order now and save 50% from the original price"  :evil: ;)

Look TwT, I know if I bought one of those 100 queens from you it would just die. And you would just have to reimburse me the 100. So lets do this...You keep the queen, reimburse me the 50% off price, and send me a 50 dollar bill. That way, you get to keep your queen, and save $50. That way, we both make out.... :-D
