Please accept my apologies for the unsolicted distribution of two Varroa files to everybody. It looks like I got caried away by trying to be useful to the group. I am reading these messages for over one year now and thought that it is time to contribute something . Next time I will just publish my e-mail address so people can get a copy on demand. Some subscribers had troubles downloading the files, even complaining about a virus infection. A possible explanation might be the origin of this upload. I saved the files on a Macintosh computer in the Word 5.1 TEXT format. Before I uploaded I checked the files with "Disinfectant 3.6" and found nothing. Again: My apologies. Looks like I learned a lesson via the hard way to everybody else. Happy beekeeping and few varroa Hans __________________________________________________________ Hans-Ulrich THOMAS.
