No argument about that.  Unfortunately valuable samples were lost at one 
of our best labs.  But the oldest samples available, when checked did 
show ceranae.   I understand this is true pretty much for the rest of 
the world.  Here the treatment by fumagillin is illegal, management 
being regarded  as the key.

Randy you must know this is not so, or you are quaintly naive. People 
are more than happy to pour all sorts of useless things down their own 
gullets for non existent problems, let alone beehives.

After all you are from the country that marketed the worlds worst 
hamburger to the world, a feat far greater than being first on the moon.
