There should have been a 'I' before the word 'appreciate'.  It must
have gotten lost in editing.
 
If one doesn't notice the period after 'don't', one might mistake the
meaning of the post.  In fact it might seem to say exactly the
opposite of what I meant.  I apologise if anyone misunderstood.
 
What I was saying was that I *do* appreciate Frank's taking the time
to explain techniques that are not yet mainstream.
 
Many of us do not have the time, training, resources, or nature to
do experiments ourselves, or to assess the meaning of the results.
 
The details of what beekeepers may try are very interesting, even if
the results are not yet substantiated by our researchers.
 
There doesn't seem to be any serious question of the legality of
placing vegetable oil in beehives, so I can't think why anyone would
object to discussing this in detail.
