>>> But are you saying that things which happen in labs - measured and under control - are not valuable? Is that true for all studies, only those relating to the bees or only those by researchers who find problems for the bees?
Lab study results can definitely indicate the possibility of a problem. What needs to be done then is replication of the study and accompanying multiple field studies focusing on the problem, a long and time consuming process to be sure. But, lab results do not form a cut in stone declaration of a problem. It just says, here is a perceived problem that needs more study in real world situations to determine its relavance.
