Someone else will have to explain this, I cannot. Perhaps the temporarily warmer weather has affected my concentration. I cannot make heads nor tails of this press release from what appear to be legit companies involved in vaccines and infectious disease: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/21/bioradar-uk-bee-ccd-idUSnPn1RbpWH+ 93+PRN20140321 http://tinyurl.com/qhlsuld Graphs here: http://photos.prnewswire.com/featured/prnthumbnew/20140321/PH88466 http://tinyurl.com/q2dxxjx The specific person named is speaking at the named convention, but not on any bee-related subject: http://www.terrapinn.com/conference/world-vaccine-congress-washington/speake r-samuel-BOGOCH.stm http://tinyurl.com/o42roud The company is legit, but I am not even clear if they are a mere supplier of licensed technology to "BioRadar", or if they are a partner to "BioRadar". http://www.replikins.com *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
