I have been reading on my new phone  and at a Wi-Fi now. I arrived in 
Florida last night but need to go for now or would post.

Best of luck to my longtime friend Jerry Hayes. I think we are being a bit 
hard on both Jerry & Randy over the Monsanto thing.

In my opinion Monsanto buying beelogics is mostly about getting respected 
bee people in their organization for company positive bee PR rather than 
making money.

"Disappearing disease" has not disappeared like back in the 70's. Yearly 
losses are still being reported as a third of most operations bees up to 
50%.

You can pick your hypothesis as to why yearly *reported* losses remain high 
as many around.
