Beekeepers biggest enemy?

[Spear]

I've been thinking today about all the challenges that face beekeepers and their bees and I started wondering what you would consider to be the biggest enemy of the beekeeper?

Beekeepers & Bee-Havers.     :piano:

[rober]

varrora mite
agri-business as in monsanto, bayer, & & their ilk
golf courses with their heavy duty chemical regimens
suburbanites who have to have a perfect mono grass lawn
chem-lawn & others like them

Money. I hate money.

Sad but true. Maybe she will come around some day.

 the varroa mite, the small hive beetle, the migratory pollination industry and beekeepers that rush to dump a different pesticide into their hives every fall.  after that i'd say that the push by the current administration to convert us to ethanol.

All of the above.

Ignorance...  :?


The politicians,
The public,
The beeks, and
Yes, even the wife...

Enemies will evolve.  When one is neutralized, another shall appear.  

Knowledge is needed to keep them pacified.

That is the turn my thoughts took when pondering the question today, glad that someone else thinks along the same lines as I do...

Welcome to the forum jette23.  You'll learn a lot here, and have many laughs in the process.
You might want to add your location to your profile.  Very often it helps to know where someone is when answering their questions, or considering their answers.
