>>Surely if the bees were working a contaminated crop then they would entomb all of it -whole combs; is that what is being seen? I have never seen more than perhaps 5-10% of pollen cells entombed. I have seen it specifically in new comb from hives that pollinate almonds as well as hives that pollinate raspberries after one season. I have pictures if anyone is interested. --Jeremy Rose San Luis Obispo, CA *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
