When asked whether the beekeeping industry is more
popular or not, Mr. Clayton replied that ?beekeeping is
becoming more popular because bees are being devastated
with neonicotinoids, a chemical used in fertilizers and
pesticides, that caused the record low population in both the
world and the United States. Good Christians want to
increase the honey bee population by working with them.?
Later, he said that the efforts of these Christians are futile
because they do not have the characteristics of a successful
beekeeper.
When asked if he could give advice to aspiring
beekeepers, Mr. Clayton said, ?Before becoming a beekeeper,
it is important to become educated about bees. Take a bee
class and buy magazines if necessary. You must make time to
be dedicated to the bees. In my opinion, dedication is the
most important trait.?
