This is a quote from the link below. "Comer’s office says Kentucky isn’t eliminating the state’s beekeeping program—he just wants to appoint his own people to positions. But the dismissal of an experienced, nationally recognized and admired apiarist is raising eyebrows in the agricultural community."

I would like to thank Phil Craft for all his work in helping beekeepers and promoting beekeeping education in the state of Kentucky for the last 12 years . I think his presence in the department of agriculture will be missed by all.

I agree completely, John. It is clear Mr. Comer is trying to make a political statement and is completely out of touch with beekeeping and its impact on KY's economy. More importantly, he is out of touch with how important Phil has been to beekeepers. Should we all write letters? Call? As BGBK what is our most effective move?
