Many of the passionate opinions held on this subject are are often rejected
simply due to their passionate nature. I have tried to maintain a logical
standpoint on this issue whilst I find some of the elements simple and
compelling, they are in definite need of rigorous testing. I do not think
you will find both sides of the issue presented methodically without bias.
Perhaps someone such as yourself is in a position to collate the data for
and against?
My humble opinion is that not enough testing is being done using bees rather
than human breath.
