P.S.  Thanks to all of the beekeepers, beekeeping associations, and  
growers who contributed samples and helped us find funding.   We especially wish 
to thank the U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical and  Biological Center for 
conducting the analysis on their own internal funds.   Also, most of our authors 
contributed significant portions or all of their  time.  Special thanks go to 
Shan Bilimoria, Texas Tech and Trevor Williams,  Institute de Ecologia AC in 
Mexico.  Our findings revealed something  entirely new to us, and we had to 
find some experts to help us interpret  them.  In a time when competition btw 
researchers tends to be far more  common than expected, it was a delight to 
have them confirm our work, roll up  their sleeves, and help out.  They 
truly are world experts with respect to  our main finding.
 
 
We had to piece meal the funding to get the samples, etc.; since we  did 
not receive any of the $4M from USDA.
