Hello Everyone,

Could it bee that winter is almost over and the bees have been in the
hive too long. A little mineral oil in their eyes? Or powdered sugar in
their trachea? Maybe the essential oil is waning. Some formic fumes still
floating around? I know those strips left something nauseating behind.

I can't wait for spring to continue my great adventure with small cell.
It has worked for some. Will it work for me? I'll let you know.

For $20 I can participate in an experiment that could allow me to focus
on the bees rather than on disease. Throw in an MR or Russian breeder for
another $50. Waste of money? Too many variables? Not for me. It's a great
opportunity!

It's not rocket science. I don't need a PhD or even a 1 cent government
grant to answer the big IF it works question. The whys and hows can be
saved for those with the education and the money . I like to know whys
and hows and appreciate their work.

But  I know that this time next year I will be more informed about small
cell than I am now.

Best Wishes
Dennis
