Illinois illegally seizes bees resistant to Monsanto’s Roundup; kills remaining queens

[bvar22]

5. My Wife & I are BeeKeepers, and neither of us is a "friend" of Monsanto.

If this mans hives tested positive for Foul Brood,
then the authorities acted appropriately.
It is very possible, in fact likely, that this has nothing to do with Monsanto.

Foul Brood is an especially nasty, very contagious disease that is impossible to "cure".
The only sane action is to kill the infected Bees,
and burn anything that they have been in contact with,
including adjacent hives,
and any equipment and tools that have been in contact with that hive.
Protective Bee Clothing must be washed in hot water with bleach.

Foul Brood CAN be spread to any hives within the 3 mile foraging radius of the infected colony. As responsible Bee Keepers, we would volunteer to destroy our colonies if Foul Brood is confirmed,
and go On-a-Fucking-MISSION to find out WHERE it came from,
and if it is an irresponsible BeeKeeper in our area,
rain down upon him the fiery fucking wrath of the Lord!

The ONLY question is
was Foul Brood CONFIRMED by a non-partisan agency.

My Wife & I are NOT Joiners,
and avoid registering anything we are not forced to register,
but we make an exception for our Honey Bees.
Our Colonies are registered with the State,
and we gladly submit to yearly inspection.
In fact, we LOVE our local inspector, and look forward to her visits.
She is wonderful with the Bees.
