The authority I was talking about was not meant to be domination. I like
your wording of stewardship(better word). Man does have the ability to abuse
or use this stewardship(look at what is being dumped into hives). Hopefully
our intent is to work with bees in the manner which GOD created them.

How did we get this far off topic by talking about clipping(scratch,
scratch)???

Good question, I'd like to know also.
