This is a confirmation of the calls that Randy made and got from beekeepers
in Ag areas that they were doing fine.

The key quote-

"but it's becoming more clear that the influences of varroa mite and food
availability are more important factors in honey bee health than
agricultural pesticides."

I would love to see the same study on Bumblebees. I think there may be an
issue with them but not with honeybees.
