For the studies performed recently by both Christof Schneider of BASF, and
by Reed Johnson, they each measured the concentrations of the fungicides
and IGR active ingredients in the beebread, in the jelly, and in the larval
bodies. This chain of analysis gives us a much better idea of actual
larval exposure, and documents that the a.i. is actually getting into the
larval body.
Again, I am not criticizing the work of the Penn State researchers. I am
merely offering refinements in protocol.
