The Alberta Beekeepers Association resolved at the last general meeting to
qpproach the Canadian Honey Council to resurrect the research info
developed a few years ago witht the goal in mind of generating (seperate)
fact sheets to release to doctors and the public to combat misinformation
in these matters.
 
My followup requests for info in the progress indicate the project seems
to be stalled at present.
