It is the nanny state at work. I don't think many veterinarians are going to make house calls on apiaries. They will hire an entomologist to go make the diagnosis. They will then call in a prescription to one of our large bee suppliers. Of course, this will cause the bee supplier to have a pharmacist in order to satisfy more government regulations. When the entomologist, veterinarian, and pharmacist all have to be paid the cost of a cure will be in the hundreds of dollars. China and Argentina imports will not be effected, so it will worsen our competitive position. This is the government we elected. As a total population, we want the government to take care of us from conception to resurrection. Welcome to the nanny state.
