If indeed there was this problem, why haven't we heard about this a long time ago from the beekeepers in the southwest? They would be the ones on the front line seeing it firsthand and making it known in the industry that such a problem exists. Isn't it a bit odd that suddenly we are hearing about a whole state being effected by this bee or it's genes? Normally one would hear reports about this in the early stages. mark _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
