I am interested in "space limitations".  I am noticing a lower population in
some of my very heavy colonies going into winter (47 North here and neither
mite), which I am attributing to a honeybound condition in mid to late
summer.  Does the earlier program also use a neural net, or does it use
formulae for calculations?  If, the latter then what are the assumptions and
factors that the program uses?  Does it tell you this, or can you access it
from within the program?

I hate Windows 95.  How can one get the DOS PC BEEPOP?
