I'm operating on my reserves now at this time of
night. On beds I have a wooden base futon.

Um, I have been going pretty hard at something for
a month or so, and may have a mission for anyone
in the UK who wants it. If this comes back with a
certain result this could be quite important.

I have been concentrating hard on the bees'
'colony collapse disorder', and looking at the
history. I have gone back to one of the earlier
and major appearances, known as the 'Isle of Wight Disease'.
To put not to fine a point on it, I got stuck right
in to the history. I have written a first draft
of this on a beekeeper list that was not that
well received but widely read.

Straight to it. I don't want to repeat it now, but
I have carefully cross- correllated the outbreak of
'Isle of Wight Disease' (the collapse of beehives
from 1900/ 04- 1925/ 27) with the original
Marconi wireless telegraph in the UK, the US, and
around the world. I have found some facts that
even in their current form make a case and are
compelling to investigate. "Isle of Wight Disease' (IOWD)
came at the almost exact period and exact place
as Marconi wireless telegraph on the IOW, and
went with the movement of Marconi VLF to
shortwave in 1925/ 27. Outbreaks are seen
in the close vicinity of Marconi wireless
telegraph transmitters, and the world's first radio
station was on the Isle of Wight.

There are some specific comparisons to be made that
I will do a post on. Also, Marconi died from
angina pectoris, similar to the 'pseudostenocardia'
of USSR radar troops, and there is evidence he
may have been the first electrosensitive.

I will do a post, but it will become clear that
the main way to resolve this issue is for someone
in the UK to take a trip to Surrey for an afternoon
or two, in addition to the calls I am making.
While its too late at night here, there
is a realistic chance it may be of significant
benefit if someone could make themselves available
for an afternoon or two as a coworker. If Marconi's
wireless telegraph caused the IOWD, we are
home and hosed for the future, and the
beekeepers are helped. Or the search may
prove he was not involved in that issue
at all.

Many thanks, if someone could muse on this
possibility for a while I can get back with
a description.
