It would be nice to see the small apiaries flourish again. We have 26
hives here and while it's not the easiest task to maintain them what
with the cold winters and all the reward is pretty amazing. We have an
incredibly high yield in our veggie and flower gardens and 55 Gal
drums full of Clover and Alfalfa honey pretty much all the time.
I don't think the general population realizes just how important the
honeybee population really is but once they see the prices of produce
at the market go through the roof ( I can't wait to see how much
oranges will go up this year!) they'll start to realize things need to
change. Sadly, it'll take another year or two at least to bounce back.

2 weeks ago a bushel of oranges were at $44.00 per bushel wholesale, and yep when the bees hit that critical die-off point watch the food supply get smaller and smaller

Corn is not the ethanol that eco-nazis want.

Corn is a political idea, from an agri-lobby that likes Washington.

Real Ethanol?  It's of sugar cane, grasses. 
The US public has been "had" over corn to be Ethanol.

Do you know that ethanol was always a fuel?


"Denatured" ethanol goes back to the 17th century.

Ethanol is booze.  "Denatured" is adding 10% methanol to it, so it can't be consumed like booze. 
Denaturing it made it not booze, hence as fuel.

Before you drink or burn, understand the chemistry and the history!

Would you believe I know the difference? <g> And yes you can make it out of about anything, some use sweet potatoes, some even say the difference between drinking it and using it for fuel is the absence of sugar?

Washington a lobbyists I wasn't aware they were so organized that well back then, sure they had personal interest in things such as agro business but then again that was what they did to live, first things first you must eat, then shelter.
