CATCH THE BUZZ – Bee Removal To Be Illegal In Texas.
Bee Culture ^ | 04/04/2019 | Zachary Bauer

Bee removal is a common practice for many bee owners. Well, it’s about to become illegal in Texas if an Irving lawmaker has her way. When a local bee keeper gets a call concerning a swarm or hive in a nearby residence or tree, they load up and ride to the rescue. They arrive and set up their equipment and carefully bring the bees home to a new location where they can grow and thrive.

However, new legislation being filed in Texas would prevent most bee keepers from performing this valuable service unless they first jump through a bunch of bureaucratic hoops and red tape. What was once a sometimes cheap or free service from local bee keepers looking to expand their hives or preserve local bee populations for the benefit of a community, will turn into an expensive fee for whomever calls needing a bee removal.

There is only ONE reason something like this gets proposed.
Some person and or business filled her pockets with cash so they can monopolize the service.

They will charge big big bucks to do it too.

Any large Honey/Bee Producer in her district? hmmmm

Rep. Theresa “Terry” Meza most likely has a direct or indirect financial interest in a “school” that provides bee removal training.

When I see that picture, all I can think of is Mick Jagger singing the Stones’ version of “King Bee”. “..Well I’m a King Bee..want you to be my Queen.. Well I’m a King Bee baby..Want you to be my Queen..Together we can make honey the world has never seen..(Keith stab chord riffage). And Mick goes in for heart surgery today. They will stick that tube down his throat after he gets the dope. Sometimes after that procedure, you can be hoarse for months. Maybe he’ll never be able to perform again.

Don’t worry...I loves my honey. And my wife would be desolate if all of her plantings failed to be pollinated.

Now, if I could just get rid of these carpenter bees that want to eat my house.

Well, you’re a true professional (or talented amateur). What my neighbors had was a drive-by bee infestation. A beekeeper showed up and removed it. Luckily, I missed the whole thing.

Landowners and homeowners will grab a can of RAID and kill the bees rather than pay the local bee keeper’s high fees as a result of training, licensing and insurance payments that allow them to do their job legally.

EXACTLY SO. DEMOCRATS, AND ESPECIALLY DEMOCRAT WOMEN, ARE EXTREMELY STUPID...........................

Baron Harkonnen has gotten pretty petty since he lost control of the spice.

Yeah, and the gene pool that caused it provided some unfortunate looks along with the stupid.
