Interesting article on the mapping of proteins in fruit flies. This
research is where genetic research is going since proteins are what are
behind our biological processes and will be the key to disease
elimination and/or control.

We know that it is not Varroa but virus that actually kills off the
bees. If you could control the virus, you could save the bees.

Still a long way to go, but it is interesting that they are as far along
as indicated.
