Fair enough!

I'm not a scientist or researcher so not likely I could put together anything meaningful in regards to proof. I did think that the PLoS paper I posted showed that some research has been done. Jim Frazier et al makes mention that there was research showing that honey bee larvae reared in cells contami­nated with the miticides fluvalenate or coumaphos show a reduced developmental rate and delayed adult emergence in their article. I believe it was in reference to the same paper. Peter says that it is not clearly shown in the paper.

So I got nothing other than what I learn here, pick up elsewhere and an opinion.

Bob,
Thanks for that information and encouragement.
