Frankly, I found this particular part of the story very difficult to
swallow. Until someone I 
have known for 35 years described it to me. My friend described it exactly
as you say. Bees 
would leave the boxes entirely alone. I simply can't imagine what they're
perceiving that we 
can't. ???

I was there with the first investigators at Dave Hackenberg's. Somewhere I
have a picture of a yard of 100 hives with about 60% dead and standing on
end and no robbing. It's sad that we are still talking about whether it
happened or not.
