Allen et. al.,
Yes, many of us don't feel as knowing or schooled as the scientists, but be
sure many out here are interested in your research, your comments, and the
frames of reference you have in your work.  I'm a "young" beekeeper with ten
hives in a great climate for bees (Sonoma County, CA) who so far hasn't had
to treat, though I do feed occasionally.  Randy's a "local" here, and
recommended your site for good information and an ear to the issues.  I'm
always asked questions about the bees, and this group has helped me develop
what I hope is a nuanced answer to some very broad queries.
Thanks, Pat Gentry
