Re: Pollen placement specialists

Debra,

I also know a bee specialist in Michigan. He raises bees for his orchard and 
an MSU owned farm...and he corrects my terminology all the time. Let me know 
off list if you need his contact info.

He is also a lawyer, so correct terminology is very important to him.
