extrapolated upon the supposition that something could become a problem.

been plenty), no measurable adverse effects were found with proper seed
treatment.  The experience of beekeepers in the many areas that I've visited
supports that conclusion.

You know, Randy, that there are even so many field studies that show
harmfulness effects on the lethal and sub lethal level. 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? Believe me, Randy,
I'm a complete inoffensive man, but in this discussion it happen to seem
that truth as many faces.
If you agree, Randy, write your answer and let us end this discussion,
everyone will now be able to form his own 'educated' opinion.
However, thanks for the useful opinions that you give us here nearly every
day about beekeeping on itself. Long life to BEE-L.

Kind regards,
