Excuse me for intruding - I don't browse the list much anymore, but... Have any of you read Justin Schmidt's papers on swarm traps? The works you are citing are fairly old, and although Schmidt worked back in the 90s, his traps, pheromones (not his mixture, but tested extensively and upgraded by him and Steve Thoenes), and especially his pheromone delivery system are proven superior to the ones I see cited in these recent posts. - John Edwards, formerly at Tucson Bee Lab, from back when there was actual research being done there. *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
