Wow, thanks for the kind words!
...But we don't like to think of Bee-Quick
as "the other chemical", as there are
no "chemicals" in it at all.
Everything we use is natural, everything is
food grade. We pay through the nose for it
all, but we feel it is worth the trouble.
We have all the certifications ready from our suppliers to meet the USDA Organic
requirements, but the whole organic program
as applied to beekeeping is bogged down, so
we must wait until there are "organic beekeeping rules" before we can be "approved for organic use".
Anyway, the foul-smelling toxic stuff is "the other stuff" if one is speaking
of which sells more.
