also, i think it points out that foundation comes from beekeepers wax.  all 5 samples (small sample...but all 5 is hard to explain away) of foundation had fluvalinate and cumaphos in "significant levels".

this study is yet to be published, so it shall be interesting (although not a "happy interesting") to see the numbers.

also, i believe (and correct me if i'm wrong) that the levels in brood was near the ld50 for adult bees :(

it sounded like the ccd hives were just weaker in every way, but nothing stark between the 2 groups.  unfortunately, i don't think they are following individual hives through time.
