I guarantee no beekeepers were asked for input on this bill.

I posted the Texas Beekeeper's Association's announcement of this bill on my facebook page and immediately got negative comments.  I didn't realize it was so controversial.

Thanks for posting this link.  I need to spend some time educating myself.

Read the article.  It's not that it's a terrible bill, they just didn't think through things properly...

Once you form an opinion either way, you can contact the bill’s sponsor, Tracey King.
