Kirk" Subject: apis I have NOT received my copy of Apis for October. What has happened ? I have assumed that the request to acknowledge receipt of Apis applied to bee-l receiving Apis from Florida and not to us as individuals - otherwise bee-l would be clogged up with acknowledgements! Is this right? Have I been left off as a result?

"At least the bee zapper was working. For years their hives had been u nder seige by Africanized swarms, seeking to take over as they had everywhere i n the area, ruining all the once-profitable apiaries in the parish. Chemicals a nd spray parasites did no good. But a few weeks ago Claire had found a net r eference by a fellow in Egypt, who'd discovered that the African strain beat t heir wings faster than the tame European variety. Burrowing into archaic T wenCen military technology, he had adapted sensor-scanner designs from an old, defunct project called "Star Wars." Now Claire and a few thousand others were t esting his design and reporting weekly results to a network solutions SIG. Like a glittering scarecrow, the cruciform laser system watched over her squat hives. When she had first turned it on, the surrounding fields had come startlingly alight with hundreds of tiny, flaming embers. The next morning ash smudges were all that remained of the viscious invaders within line of sight. But her own honeybees were untouched. Now she looked forward to a sweet profit and her first stingless summer.....pg 232-233. An interesting idea? R.-K.

I have read in several science journals about machines that have been developed that you can lower the microphone into the hive and it will "listen" for a different wing-vibration speed...
