I jumped straight to the meat and read those pages!

From page 99:  "So the North American subspecies, Apis mellifera ligustica,
also known as the "Italian" bee, stops producing brood in late May,...The
U.S. bees thus are not feeding heavily in June and July when the heaviest
pesticide applications are made, while French bees are."

Statements such as the above make me question the author's research into the
subject, and his conclusions.
