That's pretty much what I see. We had a vote in the new Perth association as a couple of the newer beekeepers had read Eric's campaigning circular and demanded a vote. After several members said their bees were fine on rape and a farmer-beekeeper intervened, the vote went 6 for and the rest of quite a full room not. Completely opposite to the Glasgow vote where those willing to be led just pay attention to the doom and gloom, and only those who think for themselves and question things have a more open mind.

It would sure make a good practical proposal from beekeeping associations (and other environmental lobbists) to George Osborne before the next budget.
