<P class=MsoNormal>I saw today from the Pollinator listserve the link to the
Fortune magazine article that I had regrettably forwarded to the
beemonitoring group. I learned shortly thereafter that it was a fabrication
and today forwarded the message below from <SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt">Jerry Bromenshenk. It would be good if you
could send this out ASAP.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoPlainText>>The Fortune reporter knows full well:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>(1) the onion seed pollination work was done for a
large U.S. company, <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>there was no grant received from
Bayer,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>(2) the acoustic recorder is better at pesticide
detection than <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>pathogens<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>- the latter part of the development is an ongoing
research project <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>still being funded by USDA.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>(3) we weren't asked by NYT to disclose our funding
sources, it wasn't <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>brought up, and there was no need since this
information is required by <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>PloS ONE before they will even review a paper.
You can find it on the <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>PloS ONE site.<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoPlainText>>(4) Bee Alert Technology, Inc. is a technology
transfer company that <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>is legally recognized as an independent company in
the State of <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>Montana, affiliated with the University of
Montana. It is MT State <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>Board of Regents Approved and has been since the
early 2000s. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>Intellectual property agreements are in place,
stipulating issues such <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>as patents, IP rights, licensing, and if we
ever make any money - <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>which seems a LONG way off, the University
receives an established royalty for research and
education.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>This all came about because of changes in

<P class=MsoPlainText>>The Fortune article presents an assortment of lies
and half-truths by a <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>reporter who left another magazine before it
folded. Unfortunately, this <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>article has spawned a copy by New Yorker Magazine
that added an even <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>more inflammatory headline and chose to emphasize
some of Ms Eban's <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>>more outrageous claims of what she alleges I
said.<o:p></o:p></P>
