This is about a biological finding that could change the entire game of colony health for our entire industry. Dr. Martin has another paper coming out in about a week. The dynamics of DWV are even more complex than suggested in this week's paper. This has turned out to be an extremely fruitful avenue of research. Although it may seem premature, I'm already in the process of drumming up support to get research along this avenue rolling here in California. -- Randy Oliver Grass Valley, CA www.ScientificBeekeeping.com *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
