The following message is for Journeyman, Masters and those who have taken the written portion of Journeyman in Washington State: "Hi, Trophs! We will start tonight with the attached paper by Hesham et. al. This is a good example of how a review research paper can take on "The Big Question", whereas any ordinary research paper can only take some small portion of that bigger question. "The Big Question" is what's making our bees sick and what can we do about it. That is too big a topic for any single research project. A review paper such as this one is a good way to look at a wider problem annd see what has been done and what is recommended. As always, we will do our best to summarize the research paper and then talk about whether it is important or why it is. Then we can just talk bees, about anything we want!
There are several ways of approaching research papers as a discussion group. One is to read the paper through first and then discuss it, another is to hear the paper summarized and presented before attempting to read it. If you want to attempt to read the paper first, that's fine. Help us explain what it said. If not, decide what you think based on our report of the paper and decide if it's worth reading later."
