I am a commercial beekeeper in California and I was very excited to hear this news. Thank you for your work! I would love to see a complete ban on neonics. I have a few questions, please excuse/ignore if they are a repeat of any already asked as I haven't read the full AMA yet. How long did it take to get this case through the courts from beginning to end? Will you be the lead on any future pesticide cases? Is there anything beekeepers can do to assist in this process? Thank you again for your hard work.

Great movie, I dislike Miller's approach to commercial beekeeping though.

Beekeeping is awesome, especially as a younger person. I worked for a beekeeper for about the same amount of time, split the year between almond pollination in California, and honey production in Wyoming and the Dakotas. I had a great boss and he encouraged me to keep colonies of my own which he would place into pollination and bring to Wyoming for honey. Always netted me a good amount of extra cash each year. Any thoughts on building up your own yard/company?
