This is not about any beekeeper's claims.  This is about a biological
finding that could change the entire game of colony health for our entire
industry.

Dr. Martin has another paper coming out in about a week.  The dynamics of
DWV are even more complex than suggested in this week's paper.  This has
turned out to be an extremely fruitful avenue of research.

Although it may seem premature, I'm already in the process of drumming up
support to get research along this avenue rolling here in California.
