The copy arrived in my inbox, from a friend. I didn't realize it wasn't for 
general release, so I guess I shouldn't send it out. I will say, that they 
looked at just about everything.

All were migratory beekeepers. All fed, but not the same sugars. All used 
antibiotics, but not the same type or the same methods. All but one used 
miticides. All used some purchased queens from 5 different states and 2 
foreign countries, while one raised their own.

The investigators looked at everything...the bees, the combs, the stored 
pollen, the beekeepers activities in the preceding season. So far, they 
have found no positive connection, but I assume they will.
