Halfway down would be what? 5.3, 5.2, 5.0, or ?

I'm not clear on exactly what you are saying here, Dee. Am I correct in
reading this as referring to your operation, and that you managed to keep
bees alive, but did not get production? If not, please clarify.

So, if I read you right, people have gone to 5.2 or 5.25 (or ?) and been
happy with the results, and not felt a need to go further?

Well, I did not make the claim that this article demonstrated something it
does not seem to. I simply read the article and tried to see what was
supposed to be there. Then I mentioned that, as far as I could see, any
proof of the point in question was entirely missing. Further, I think I can
safely guess the answer without bothering the poor guy.
He gave up, is my guess, and I'll bet most others reading this would guess
the same. Am I wrong?
