"The big picture"

Tons of pollen sub are being sold in fall. One supplier told me he sells a 
semi load (40 ton) every other week in fall to the  commercial beeks.

We are talking big bucks. If beeks were not seeing results do you really 
think they would be spending the money?


Mattila & Otis are talking to their *peer* audience as we see the results 
and could care less their opinion.

I wonder if Mattila & Otis even know about the many many tons of sub being 
used with excellent results.
