1990s, and then in second regression down to 4.9mm top
tolerance we found out we diddn't need that (sic) too anymore.....<<<<

Are you saying "propolis patties" suppresses AFB and that small cells
prevents AFB?  Sorry, but if I'm reading you correctly, my "salt shaker"
just isn't that big.  I for one have found AFB in hives that had more
propolis than wax on more than one occasion.  If you want to say AFB
spores "entombed" in propolis are unaccessible fine, I'm with you.  If
you want to say propolis has antimicrobial effects fine, I'm with you,
but now you are saying small cells eliminates AFB?
