Hi Bob,

Your hypothesis makes total sense, and paints a clear image understandable
to all.  Unfortunately, it does not appear to be substantiated by firm
data.  It is currently being tested (again and again) here in the U.S., and
overseas.

I'll let you know if we figure out what hit my bees--there was only a
one-week period during which any chemical could have had the observed
effect.
