So how do I go about collecting that bet?  I did all my research on the
safety of Remebee prior to giving it to my own bees by speaking with the
biologists who actually developed the product, long before anyone in the
company even imagined that they might someday be bought by Monsanto.

I have no problem with transparency.  I was invited by the Israel
Beekeepers Association to speak about moving beyond coumaphos and using
natural treatments.  The airfare was picked up by Beeologics, an Israeli
company that wishes to support beekeepers.  Prior to accepting, I asked
whether I would be expected to mention any Beeologics product.  I was told
that they'd prefer that I didn't.  So I felt fine about accepting.  Sorry
if you have a problem with that!

Dean, I am not used to dealing with persons who are as distrustful as you.
 I suggest that to answer your further questions that perhaps I am not the
right person.
