Yes, there has been enough laughing and put down on other discussion lists
to the use of 4.9 foundation and natural regression of bees back onto a
natural system, without giving them anymore fuel for comment. I think Dennis replied quite serious, following good field observations, after spending much time on his part, and I myself took it that way and will continue doing so. Words need to be watched that contain several meanings, especially when several cultures and countries are reached on discussion groups like this one, but also all need to remember the context in which the text is written for the actual meaning used.
