This is a link  to an e-mail that was forwarded to me by me mother.  I decided to post it here to get some other reactions to it.

Yea, that's been all over the internet, I received at least three copies from people who know we're beeks.  How horribly sad and stupid some people can be.

Well my first reaction is - Nice job, you f@*#ing moron, whoever you are.  How senseless!  A local beekeeper could have easily retrieved them and their nicely formed comb.

My second (enlightened) reaction is education - I want to educate more people.  This person would do well to learn just how much of the food he eats is a direct result of honey bees.  I give all my honey away, and the price they pay is receiving a short education lesson, every one of them.

Surely if more people understood what we beekeepers know they would be saving instead of bombing them.  Or better yet, becoming beekeepers themselves.
