Peter,
    >However, when I read a paper authored by Dennis Van Engelsdorp, Robyn
Underwood, Dewey Caron, and Jerry Hayes, I stand up and pay attention. I am
not fool enough to suppose they couldn't be wrong, but these people did a
lot of work and I respect their conclusions.

    Thanks for reply, so do I. I have been under the impression that much of 
the survey information was conducted by the beekeepers, of all experiences? 
Thought this might skew the data?
