Hi Aaron and Everyone,

I too have heard that all but the Weslaco bee labs were not in the president's budget.  Don't know if it is an oversight or an attempt to actually close the other labs.  It strikes me as a real waste to close these labs now when they are so close to development of varroa resistant stocks of honey bees that can be used by beekeepers.  Of course they are involved in much other important work as well that would also be lost.  My sources say it is apparently true and the beekeeping industry in the US is aware and mobilizing.

FWIW
