Bob,
I have seen many subjective comments like the one above but have found it 
more difficult to find out hard info. Questions like:

-How many survived in the treated group non-treated.

-Average hive strength for treated vs non-treated.

remain in my mind.

These are simple basic questions that to me seem to be readily answerable. 
Since the study was done on the original CCD colonies I am perplexed why I 
have not seen hard data.
If this hard data has been published and I have overlooked it, I would 
appreciate you pointing it out so I can have a look.
Thanks

John Horton
