Regards to all,

Humor, semantics and oceans between beekeepers aside, I personally know
several dozens of beekeepers whose families and well being depend on knowing when 2
fingers of bees in a mason jar contain a certain # of bees in proportion to
the # of mites that fall out when covered with powdered sugar.
I wish we could get them to take this site more seriously. The bee industry
is in need of innovations to dovetail with recent shortfalls of honeybees for
pollination and strong world demand for pure honey. I challenge our group to
seriously address the problem at hand.
