Ok Bob, Sure!

A one season test proves zero in my book with new
hives! This test would be considered primitive by
research standards no matter what the testing was
trying to prove. Small cell is not the issue here but
rather methods used.  If you want the researchers to
put* merit in your testing* you have to follow their
rules. They have to be able to go out and do the same
experiment and get similar results. I have ran many
many similar tests on hives. I have published none as
I know what researchers think of primitive tests.
