Ian, I think you are a bit harsh on Kieth, since he said that he found
that wrapping did not make a difference, not that it is detrimental.
The argument on wrapping/not wrapping goes back a long way and is
covered very well in The Hive and the Honey Bee.
So far, all that has been posted on this issue has been more anecdotal
than a true trial. At least we are consistent (and I include myself.
Opinion always trumps facts and it is a lot more fun).
