"Ilium fuit", as they taught us in school. But merely closing the lab is not enough, they want to raze the structure, (and likely salt the fields, too) Sue Cobey already fled the jurisdiction, so at least our women are safe from these Visigoths. I find it highly amusing that they plead poverty, but somehow have the cash to contract with a demolition company and build a brand-spankin' new building on the site. http://honeyrunapiaries.com/blog/rothenbuler-bee-lab-to-be-destroyed/107 I'm not sure what the historical significance of the building itself might be, but Ohio State is clearly getting out of the business of bee research just when serious money starts to become available.
