Hi Jane,
 
Oops -- Please forgive me if I gave the impression that I thought you
reported the Buckfast thing wrongly, I'm sure you didn't. :)
 
We see many wild stories in the press where facts get confused or
'enhanced' -- the various 'killer bee' stories over the years, the
amazing yields we get from bumble bees, 'swarms' of fifty or more bees
and so on. I _think_ that's happened here but the story is credible!
It's also quite possible that there is truth but it's being kept quiet
until 'proven' and/or repeatable. There is _lots_ of research!
 
Bye again, Gordon.
