General Discussion / Request garden centers to stop selling neonicotinoids

Bill Wood posted the following in the UK Warre yahoogroup: "One of my
beekeeping groups in Eugene, Oregon, USA is writing, calling and
visiting local merchants that sell insecticides to gardeners. We are
asking them to reconsider selling honeybee-toxic pesticides. We are
making it available to anyone to use as is or to modify it according
to their local needs. -Bill"

General Discussion / Liability insurance for "sideline" bee/honey business?

« on: November 14, 2012, 05:25:14 AM »

Hello,
Anyone have referrals to insurance agents/companies that are familiar with beekeeper's insurance - both for the beekeeping side of the business (someone stung by a bee while visiting beeyard) as well as product liability on the honey sold? It'd just be a sideline business - between 10-30 hives scattered around town.
thanks!
