Beekeepers know how to protect their hives, but only IF they are given notice in advance that spraying will occur. Even then, it still sucks for the honeybees out in the wild and the native bees though. On equipment: You get what you inspect, not what you expect. On training: Our drills are bloodless battles so that our battles are bloody drills. On tactics: Cheating just means you're serious about winning.
