Glyn MoodyThe selfish case for saving bees: it’s how to save ourselves - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/may/18/saving-bees-save-ourselves-pollinators bees are the bees knees (obvs); let's save them
Chrisna@glynmoody I like bees. Every once in a while bees choose my home as a place to nest. I have a bee hive under my eaves now. I wouldn't think of killing honey bees, but I do need to find a beekeeper who can move them to a better spot. I like bees. When its cool (early spring) have held them in my hands to warm up without being bitten. I try not to kill bugs generally except the ones that are destructive.

@chrisna sounds like you go good work with bees - excellent - they need all the help they can get
@glynmoody So anyway, what he told me was that curious about the same thing he had sook out the "DTI" person who had literally written those two lines, (Art 1.3b+c) and although I dont have it in front of me he said that no, the exemption did not apply to the UK and it was not intended to. Since that is what he said I dont want to embellish it. For verification look at this. http://individual.utoronto.ca/diep/c/price1999.pdf
@glynmoody It cites a WTO document from the fall of 1998 but the URL is wrong. It is a secretariat note from 1999. I have that here and if you give me a few moments I will find the link. You really should bring this to peoples attention. This is what I kind of suspected would happen all along. Note that its also what is said in the Lancet Article.
