You guys seem to agree. It is a matter of taking the calipers to the store and just finding something that works. I was hoping for a dealer of fabrics.

The mesh needs to have an opening very close to 0.162". Do potato bags have this opening size?

Does anyone know where to purchase the number 5 fabric/cloth used on the ends of the queen marking cages? I already have #5 hardware cloth but have not been able to locate the netting found on the...

I'm not sure. Maybe someone with more knowledge about the change of ownership can comment. I just wanted to give a plug for Brian Kulling because my experience was excellent and I think that what...

I purchased a 24' international flatbed a few years ago and will add my two cents. If you have a forklift you might want to consider a shorter bed and stack the hives two pallets high. Unless you...

What kind of tank and where does the power come from for the heater? It would take a lot of power to heat a 275 gallon tote??

Has anyone else dealt with the new owner of A&O? My first impressions (see below) are good but I was wondering what others may have experienced.

My experience with the new owner of Hummerbee ...

I was looking into this awhile back and a pump dealer indicated that a diaphragm pump might be best with really high solids content. Apparently they self prime and can run dry without harm. Koshin...

The problem is that customers have been conditioned, often times, to follow commonly used definitions for local produce which are based more on the degradation of produce during shipment and such....

I understand your concern, but for the moment it is all prefaced with "what if". For me to become at least more concerned I would need more than "what if" - something like a high probability...

WLC,
Although I respect your point of view, I am having a difficult time seeing what harm could be done. Worst case scenario the RNAi gets integrated into honeybees and other species, which has...

I am unwilling to assume anything about any of this. Monsanto has a well deserved reputation of using a very heavy hand toward patent protection. Monsanto, in my estimation, has been reducing the...

I will need to look at those papers when I have some more time. I just don't trust their conclusions without seeing the data. Was a northern blot used, what were the controls, how much analyte was...

Come on Jim, we know you just want a solution to your insomnia.

Now that has a nice cynically neutral sound to it. :D
That is the kind of language an old scientist gets that is tired of eating his words over the years. Of course it all becomes so generic as to...

Sure you could look at transcripts for AGO2 but that would be limited to a small time window and may not give any time course indications. Another approach would be to use two RNAi's, with one...

WLC,
Again, I would have predicted that Remebee would have been statistically better at knockdown over control in field trials if it were to work at all. My own experience with RNAi is that people...

WLC,
Although I appreciate your passion and inquisitive mind, you may want to put a little pressure on the brakes. I spent half of my life in the sciences and I can tell you from experience that...

WLC,
At first I thought you were pulling my leg because you are targeting a putative RISC complex protein which strikes me as odd plus your sequence is repetitive and has a rather low Tm. If you are...

WLC,
I'm not trying to rattle your cage. I was director of molecular biology for a small biotech firm and both designed and cloned many types of RNAi sequences and tested for subsequent integrations...

I understand your visceral response but it just doesn't match up to reality. I too prefer all things natural but we wouldn't have corn, antibiotics, steel, the roof over your head, the car in your...

WLC,
I'm not suggesting that going all natural is a bad thing. Going all natural, however, usually means a lot of extra labor and extra risk. Commercial beekeepers can't afford either and would be...

WLC,
I don't disagree with the idea that some day this technology could backfire and that we may be better off sticking with natures offerings but I just don't think the mechanisms you ascribe to...

WLC,
I'm really not taking a side but it is hard to see how a small non-coding hairpin is much of a worry.

Maybe Monsanto deliberately released IAPV into the US so they could profit from the cure.
Just having some fun.
