After the quite disgraceful treatment of Dr.R, I for one am not
suprised by his silence on this list. He originally came on this
list, a bit bombastic I must agree, gave us his findings on FGMO, for
free, and the list tore him to shreds. At that time it wasn't
moderated so there was no way of preventing some really bad flames.
The only reason that I could find for the treatment meted out to
him, he hadn't undertaken a full *scientific* study to the
satisfaction of the puesdo scientists on this list. Considering Dr.R
is just a regular individual without support (a la Universities) he
was still expected to provide controls etc running into thousands of
$'s, then to give his findings for free to all who asked. There is a
saying about 'Don't look a gift horse in the mouth', it was all for
free, and without the possibility of any financial reward!! In God's
name what more do you want?

What has the writer come up with that is so thought provoking that
allows him to be so critical of others trying to protect their bees.
Perhaps, when he starts finding dead hives to Varroa, in spite of
using the *official* treatments, he might view our efforts slightly
differently.
