Tom mentioned in a recent Bee Culture article http://bee.airoot.com/beeculture/digital/2001/column29.htm at http://bee.airoot.com/beeculture/digital/, the availability of the ARS Bee Bibliography online. BEE-L members may wish to visit that ARS site at http://www.barc.usda.gov/psi/brl/Bibliography.htm when preparing questions for this list. The search lists 1172 hits for 'foulbrood'. None for 'hormetic'. allen http://www.internode.net/HoneyBee/Diary/
