I am sure someone knowledgeable will help me out here concerning the 
irradiated/not irradiated comb. 

As I understand it, this was a spring/summer/fall loss, not over a 
winter, with a commercial pollinator. Plus, it was an estimate, not an 
actual count.I may just remember the initial reports, but there may have 
been follow-up studies of a more scientific nature.
