Okay Allen and Jerry,
If as deknow says frogs and other water associated animals
and insects (added insects) are in an exchanging contact,
by drinking at same watering sites concerning fungi, etc,
that then on bodies of bees for example from same, are
carried back to hives and fungi, mold,and yeast growth get
going in, and this is being seen all over, then bees in USA
have same access, would this not be assumed?
Okay then with also seeing badly looking pollen sub as
Jerry said, and Allen saying: " Other substitutes, like
BeePro and standard soy/yeast formulae don't seem to mould
much, if sufficient sugar is used and the water is not
overdone " Yet, Jaycox back in late 1970s/early 1980s used
to teach at meetings that soy flour and other substitutes
were only good for one bee generation I think and then on
(with each cycle of brood) the next generations have
problems, that get worse with each generation of bees
produced, that included problems in feeding of the mixtures
fed and also greatly shortened the lives of the bees.
Would not this then when compounded with varroa chewing and
sucking blood that shortens live cycle of bees make for
increasing hive crashes as fall feeding starts and winter
months progress, until the hives cannot turn brood at all,
with old force dying off until no bees left (which
depending upon the temperatures could be fast or slower,
etc also with moisture?
Also for Jaycox to teach this and talk about it, knowing
who he worked for, what with Calif and Logan, wouldn't this
information be on file yet for pulling up to look at for
info to add to what is being considered by you all Jerry?
Just thinking more since you two guys talking........
