> Dick mentions a small cell study that failed to the
claims being made by the small cell folks.

This was likely the infamous patchwork small cell
study where some scientists inserted small sections of
different sized foundation into a colony of bees.
This study did not show that small cell failed, but
instead shows that 'scientific methodry' can fail.
That these scientists attempted to do the study in
this 'patchwork' fashion shows a complete lack of
understanding for how varroa reproduces in a colony
bees as it relates to the cell sizes throughout the
colony.
