Hi Rip:

I wrote earlier:

Be it 900 +/- or 700 +/- with your math, we still have with
our bees less then 1-2% foul brood finding only two
colonies I pulled foul from this year so far.

As for the rest, be it removing the resin from buds of
plants before they can bloom or Bees too big to forage into
smaller plants for nectar the research papers you will find
back quite a few years in Europe mostly so go back a few
decades when looking.
