BEEBOY: I would love to set a hive up next to a big orchard but the commercial guys around here would frown on it and there would be a good chance the hive would disappear or catch fire......
That is awful. So there is a honey bee mafia? I understand, BEEBOY, there are ISSUES here in Arkansas but I cannot discuss on a public forum.
There are a few that make their living off honey bees, most are honest. However there are a few, very few, that will go to extremes such as theft, or poison or BLACKLIST you at bee meetings is more common.
