Last month this column had suggestions on how to keep bees in an agriculturalenvironment where acres are treated with insecticide 1-2 times each season, fungicide 1 time each season and herbicides 3-4 times each season.

At this location it is impossible for me to keep bees according to "organic" standards. There is no way I could assure anyone that my colonies never get into a flowering crop field that has no pesticide residue of any kind.
