 Thank you for your prompt reply Dr Bromenshenk.
Yes, i agee that irradiating should cause any deadouts to perform somewhat
 better than non-irradiated deadouts.

 Does anybody know how to get in touch with Jeff Pettis or David Hackenburg?

Again Thanks, and thanks for your research in all areas. I have sensed a
 genuine wonder in you for this amazing little creature called the honeybee.
