Good report author is a fairly large commercial beekeeper

note P23
"one off subsidy for the commercial sector"

p27
"Keep your eyes on a trial by P J Stirling Ltd whereby bees are delivering fungicides reduce the spraying need for botrytis"

P28
"A study was carried out at the New York Experimental Station between 1994 and 1997
which showed that fungicide delivered by bees reduced spraying by half and increased seeds in the
strawberries by 22% and the fruit weight between 26% and 40% more than berries in non-visited
treatments."

"This is something we will trial with the farm next year and will investigate whether there is any funding for a properly controlled evaluation."

Anybody heard anything about this ?
Are bees in commercial operations being considered as carriers of fungicides to flowering fruit ?
