In a post dissing BEE-L for misinformation, Bob writes:
> Research has shown fluvalinate (Apistan) caused some
> infertility in drones

Funny, my recollection was that studies show a very low correlation
coefficient between fluvalinate and drone fertility (in other words the
hypothesis that Apistan was causing drones to shoot blanks was dismissed).
Now admittedly, this is my recollection (I cannot quote what studies I am
recollecting) so this post may be the sort of misinformation to which Bob
refers.

Moral?  Know your sources, look before you leap, caveat emptor, or as Andy
so well put it, "Opinions are not necessarily facts. Use at own risk."

Cheers,
Aaron
