I think it would be far more accurate to say that the court failed to take
notice of evidence that might have supported the Plaintiffs' case.  The
"greasy bees" are a unique feature, and I challenge all to explain how a bee
might become "greasy looking" except via contact with an unnatural substance
in the course of their foraging.

Its been too long, and it is a moot point, but we can at least agree that
the bees encountered something to produce the symptoms described.  Perhaps
the spraying had nothing to do with the losses, but the bees got into
something nasty.
