I'm in a hotel in Oakdale tonight.  Flew out to check reports of  
widespread bee losses in CA, escalating rental fees, possible shortages.   I'm also 
taking samples - looking for two types of bee operations to  inspect/sample:  
 
Those with unusually high losses - assuming anything is left to see/sample, 
 AND just as importantly
Those with Great bees, no history of CCD.
 
Our analyses have provided leads to a very specific pathogen complex that  
we are trying to verify.
 
I'll be here about a week, traveling up and down the state.  I can be  
reached at my [log in to unmask] (mailto:[log in to unmask])   e-mail, or my 
cell 406-544-9007.
 
Thanks
 
Jerry
 
P.S.  I need contact information - cell phone preferably - since  everyone 
is involved in a major push to get bees in to the almonds, hard to  reach by 
any means other than cell - which they might answer.  Of course,  if you 
know where they go to breakfast about mid-morning, give me the address of  the 
diner.
