Hi Beekeepers and Friends,
 
Some posts on the subject "Andy Nachbaur's Offer" have missed the points in
the original post repeated below for those who would like to or think they
know of 10 such beekeeping tools that were a direct result of the
expenditure of USA $$ public funds. Expanding on individual beekeeper ideas
does not count, or does working with chemical companies to register their
products, or hyping any commercial product to the benefit of the
manufacture at the expense of the beekeeping industry through inflated
retail prices.

"That is nice (Beekeeping research funds from NHB tax increase) and I can
guarantee that all well be spent, and all will be back for more, as
beekeeping research funding is the original black hole.
If anyone can name 10 useful beekeeping tools, management schemes, PC
software, or any other useful beekeeping advancement recognized and used by
a bare majority of US beekeepers as being the product of so called "public
funded" beekeeping" research in the last 20 or even 30 years I will do my
best to match the $500,000. myself. I am sure all of this pie in the sky
"beekeeping" research money will end up replacing tax payer funded programs
and I am for that but not if I have to replace it with my own limited funds
after writing that big $500,000 check I am a little short."
