Just because one questions doesn't mean that one is closed to the method. By questioning, we are trying to reproduce the results. If those results can be duplicated 99% of the time under almost any conditions, then these results are important. It's just that we want to know all the info so as to try to duplicate the procedure. At least that's why I hope we question results. I am, myself, involved in a study to see if we can raise strains of bees without any chems what-so-ever. Since this is the first season, don't have any qualifying reports to share. Have to wait for time to work its way with the colonies.
