The word around here is that Lu really doesn't care about bees at all. They report that he's attempting to use the bee results to prove that neonics are harmful to humans. I was in one of those yards last summer inspecting some other hives [there was a significant AFB problem in some other hives]. I surprised that these bees did not get infected since neonics are reported to suppress the immune system of bees.
