This is interesting, but one would think that impact on brood rearing would
be easy to spot, if it was a common outcome resulting from pesticide
exposure at low levels. I'm not aware of any such negative impact being
noted by... anyone... anywhere... ever.

With such high variability in queens and brood,  how would you identify??
Very common to have a great pattern in one and the hive next to it is much
smaller.  WE find reasons,  New queen,  small cluster,  no flow,
underperformer  ETC.....  how do you define this as the cause would be my
question??
