I don't see any link btw pesticides and CCD based on this paper. Don't
confuse CCD with pesticide effects, the author doesn't.
Also, this may be a new way of trying to look at the data, but its not new
research - its based on published reports.
I am bothered by the selective use of papers - its a dangerous game for a
stats person to preselect the data, decide which data is 'true'.
Meta-Analysis is an approach used in epidemiology, medicine - when looking
at hundreds of papers - this is a VERY small set of papers to be subjected
to 'meta' analysis, and with small data sets, excluding any can have a
large effect on the results.
