One psychiatrist I was seeing regarding the phobias thought I had
a misplaced fear of my father. However, that fear has been reconciled
for a number of years now and the fear of bees and wasps is
diminishing but still quite prevalent.

I can look at pictures of wasps, watch them on television, etc. with
little or no anxiety. With a little more anxiety I can watch them
live through a window or window screen. My anxiety increases when
they appear to want to try and come through the glass or screen.
 
Where can I begin looking for video sources such as the Bio-Sci laser on
pollination biology? Is that orderable or can it be borrowed like through a
library?
 
Lois ... good luck to you as well!
