What is this from and why is Bob talking about this <| sep |> Oh god , I ' m having flashbacks to Syntax II . <| sep |> My argument isnt about neonics . My point is that as much as I ' d like to believe that bee populations have doubled , the current situation my fellow beekeepers are going through in our 3 rd world country proves otherwise . We pay for queens and materials out of our own pockets . Not a single cent from the government . And the US has this spraying accident and we get bumped off the waiting list because they have bigger numbers even though we placed orders for months ahead already . It doesn ' t matter in my country whether they ban neonics or not . The farmers and beekeepers here don ' t have government coordination . Beekeepers here have to move their hives to their own discretion or face losses .
