My reply...
You may not have seen the 'evidence' written down or included in the
'papers' that you rely on, however... Bees are attracted to eyes and dark
spots and this occurs so commonly that it is unremarkable. Again if you were
to observe bees for yourself, you would see this behavour. You cannot draw
sensible conclusions from written papers alone, you need to work with bees
and understand basic day to day beekeeping in addition to the papers.
