Find out and let me know ...and start a thread.

Last I heard this thread, in spite of persistent efforts to hijack it, 
is about a specific lab test that indicated some interesting effects 
observed when specific chemical to specific stages of developing bees.

I'd love to see anyone do that since farmers buy seed from various 
suppliers and have properties scattered around their region. Seed is 
kept from year to year as well.  Volunteers?

Anyhow, when I see the new thread about a Maine beekeeper researching 
Alberta canola, I'll decide if it is worth following. It should be good 
for a few chuckles.

This thread is about a neonic (See header, please before posting).

Anyone may start a thread on any topic.

That is a new thread and not at all relevant to the topic under 
discussion here.
