Volunteers, with their bee hives on platform scales, repeatedly have submitted data to Dr. Esaias. He now has been able to determine an advance in dates, for our main flows (tulip poplar and black locust), most likely explained by loss of trees and increased application of macadam and cement as parking lots and paved roads. It's interesting and thoughtful work. Barry Thompson ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
