Moray Bee Dinosaurs are an informal, virtual organization (and please excuse the expression) ... of 'Old Farts' or "Free Apiarists from Red-Tape Syndrome", set up to draw attention to the excess of red tape and other items introduced into our Beekeeping associations. We have no committee, no governors, no assets, and no organization. We are a loose affiliation of beekeepers who have one common aim: to reduce - preferably to zero - the use of unnecessary paper work, as we believe that the survival of life on Earth depends on our efforts alone to maintain and look after our bees without any unnecessary interference.

The loss of billions of bees raises questions about our pesticide controls ?

Rachel Carson was vilified by an industry smear nearly 50 years ago, after the release of her book, "Silent Spring."

"If we were to follow the teachings of Miss Carson," said American Cyanamid, the makers of DDT, "we would return to the Dark Ages ... insects, vermin and disease would once again inherit the Earth."

But, as Carson so eloquently put it in a CBS documentary in 1964 .....
"Man's attitude toward nature is today critically important simply because we now have acquired a fateful power to alter and destroy nature .....

"As man proceeds toward his announced goal of conquest of nature, he has written a depressing record of destruction, directed not only against the earth he inhabits but against the life that shares it with him"

A new book ... A Disaster in the Making ... now dwarfs Rachael Carson's "Silent Spring". The statistics are horrendous as page by page the demise of the flora and fauna of the natural ecosystems of Europe and the UK is systematically documented.
