I thought up a way to either prove or disprove Dee's interesting theory of a native Apis spp. I was thinking about how in her neck of the woods researches recently settled the case of the unusual dietary allegations surounding the Anasazi Peoples by examining their coprolites. There must be reams of papers about the make up of skunk, bear, etc.. feces past and present, and it's hard to imagine that the info ISN'T there, the trick would be getting it. Surely some of the list that occasionally rub shoulders with research types could get pointed in the right direction. Regards to the list Tim Vaughan
