Christina and All, Very good information about trying the weed out the junk science. We do have a problem that takes very little research to find bad science. We do know that some research starts with a result in place at the beginning of the experiment. That is not hard to find in this day and age. It does give real science a bad name. We do have some very good researchers working on our problems with the bees. If they publish a paper you can count on some rebuttal made with poor science. Just to make a point. We need to keep our eyes open and ask ourselves a lot of questions before we put it into our keep file. This place is a good clearing house for problems facing our bees and nature.
