Very sad. I took a weekend course here in NY at Cornell and several of my questions were unanswered regarding mite infestations, diseases and the effect of chemical treatments. The instructor mention that some of these question would make for good Masters of Science research. At first this surprised me,(how could I with little to no knowledge ask a question that has yet to be answered? :?) my book learnin' ;) is in physics and I guess the basics are well known. Now the new and interesting stuff requires really, really big toys. Beekeeping and dealing with critters is a very dynamic and ongoing field! Frustrating for those of us looking for answers, but exciting for someone inclined to research. :roll:
