Beekeeper on Honeybee Insurance in Stimulus Bill

Neil Cavuto interviews a beekeeper about the $150 for honeybee insurance Democrats originally included in their nearly $1 trillion economic stimulus bill. Cavuto wonders how this is supposed to create job.

The beekeeper says he really needs to make his beekeeping farm work on his own "without government handouts." He says he agrees that this provision probably shouldn't be in a stimulus bill. Asked about the stimulus package, the beekeeper says he's not sure if he supports it.

LIAR! It's is NOT for ' operations' - the money does NOT go to bee keepers... it goes to INSURANCE COMPANIES! Insurance companies are the among the TOP lobbiests in DC. AIG was one of the FIRST companies to get baiied out and now you know why. It's a SCAM! The crooked politicianshave taken over and are spending our childrens' future while people like you carry their water.

Billions going to fat cat bankers and every one is picking on 150 million for honey bees that will actually increase agriculture employment bu a few thousand workers... Please Please lynch the banker not the bee keeper

both of these guys are dumbasses i'm a beekeeper and last year my boss lost his entire operation (2700 hives) and needless to say i lost my job he had to take a huge loan out and start over so if the government would have stepped in it would make life much more easy

All you idiots who think funding bee keeper operations is not really important does not understand agriculture. Honey bees pollenate many orchards and farms. The nation's food crops are in need of this. All Neil Cavuto can say is, maybe this is a worth it issue to look at "down the road." People in this country are ignorant to what's important.
