I would be interested in knowing the difference. What are a few items you
refer to?
Steve Tabor used to work for some agency in France breeding bees. Maybe he
had to leave the country after testing out those African Bee Queens the
Brazillian Entomologist sent him for testing at the USDA lab in Louisiana
Where Steve worked back in the 1950's. Yes Virgina, Africanized bees were
here a long time before the official arrival. This was some time before
that
clumsy worker in Brazil let those bad girls out.
I suppose Steve was a Francophile when he decided to take the job. If he
is
still there by now he must be a Francophone. He used to have a feature in
one of the bee journals I remember reading one of these where he talked
about a canal boat that went through the property he was on and there were
beehives on the boat. Bees on canal boats in France..That might be a nice
holiday: wine, bees. cheese.
au revoir
