Aaron, I disagree with your notion that the DL controversy has no impact on 
beekeeping. Von Frisch credited Aristotle for the first published account of 
honey bee recruitment to a food source. Before bee keepers managed their bees in 
clay pots and skeps,  the honey hunters had theories and superstitions of 
their own . My point is that the foraging behavior of honey bees is a very 
important subject and will be continually researched.  As for the ''case closed 
parties'',  the DL hypothesis has been the ruling theory, "case closed".  The 
challenges to the DL hypothesis, such as the odor search hypothesis, constitute a 
''case open'' position. I find the subject endlessly fascinating.
