>With our modern day technology is it something that should be done?

Hi Trevor, I'm not sure that modern technology will help.  Much modern
technology is just shortcuts that steer researchers away from the hard,
tedious type of work that was commonly done during the '40's and '50's.

I'm not sure that there is a shortcut for finding the proper balance of
essential amino acids.  One could simply hydrosolyze bees and see what the
end proportions are, but I don't know if that would tell you what the best
proportions are in feed.

Your Rob Manning in South Australia is an example of a researcher who still
is willing to do the tedious testing.  I'm not sure who would fund such
research today.
