While driving to work today, I got to thinking about my comment concerning
Peter Borst's contribution to the research done at Cornell concerning screen
bottom boards.  From conservations with Nick Calderone,  I was aware that
Peter was very much involved on a day to day basis.  I think it was probably
unfortunate that I used the term "grunt work", as it might imply that Peter
just followed orders rather than being part of a team effort on this and
other projects.  What I was trying to say is that Peter knew what he was
talking about as he was very much involved...even though nothing has been
published.

I did not mean to give the impression that Peter is not a valuable member of
the group doing honeybee research at Cornell.  Nick has spoken highly of
Peter's contributions.

Thankfully, among my mail this morning was the following from a Bee-L
member:  "Thank you VERY much for your post on screened bootoms boards
yesterday to the bee list.  It answered several questions I have as well as
demonstrated wisdom and diplomacy that I can only dream of.  Its great to
know there are people like you on the list!"

Despite my faux pas...
