> Theoretically, we should all be working to take Randy's model apart and customize the variables for own local conditions in order to determine when, what, and how to treat to even begin with. That is my hope. I put the model out there for others to help me to refine it. I'd be happy to input colony data for each region, if beekeepers would send it to me. I'll also refine treatment efficacies as data comes in. -- Randy Oliver Grass Valley, CA www.ScientificBeekeeping.com *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
