While it is encouraging to see this, I am disheartened to
note that neither NYT piece has mentioned the shoestring
budgets available for this important work.

As no one budgeted for this project, I can only assume
that funds allocated for other purposes have been "raided"
to pay for all the travel and lodging, lab work, etc.

Other than EAS, is there any beekeeping-related group 
that has 503(c) status, so that tax-deductible donations 
can be collected?

Getting past any "login" screens is eased with BugMeNot

BugMeNot plugin.
