  One correction on the stats Jay spoke about… <br><br>150,000 acres were unpollinated due to us being short 300,000 hives. <br><br>And the US consumes 600 million pounds of honey annually.

  Gulf Coast States Beekeepers is a group for Beekeepers in the Gulf Coast States. If you are a beekeeper or looking to become a beekeeper this is a group for you especially if you&apos;re in one of the Gulf Coast States. Here in the Gulf Coast States, we have our own challenges. Although anyone who wishes to Join this group may do so by answering the one question I ask.

  Albert Einstein it is often attributed as saying the quote you had at the beginning but he didn&apos;t say it. &nbsp;<br>Fruit trees are perennial and fruit set is dependent on the weather conditions and health of the trees when those buds are formed the previous year not a rain that happened a week ago.<br>I feel for the beekeepers that are effected and I hate to see anyone struggle that&apos;s trying to make an honest living. &nbsp;<br>While I don&apos;t agree with everything that was said in the video I do appreciate the perspective that you were able to share, &nbsp;it was an interesting discussion.<br>Thanks for taking the time to share.

  I like Cassie&apos;s points of view, I never heard him talk this much. The older gentleman believes in spraying our skies but what he doesn&apos;t know is that breathing in aluminum is harmful to us and it causes early dementia

  If the FDA won’t create a definition for honey then how about the consumer protection agency? &nbsp;People are being lied to about what they’re consuming. Many would pay more if they knew.
