pOur lone honeybee hive at the Research Center died during the winter (We did
use imidacloprid last Fall on grapes that the honeybees seemed to forage for
sugar in). We do not have many fruit trees, probably less than 50, but

You're in a tough place Alex. Bacterial diseases are generally tough, and in
woody plants like apples, incredibly persistent. If you're cutting out infected
material, I hope you're cutting back at least 6 from the infection. Any pest
control material you use right now may be futile until
The question is, what happens to the bacteria when
it gets warmer? Does it just go dormant in the tree?
My understanding is that moisture availability drives secondary cycles of the
population. Warmer weather won't help unless it leads to drier weather. When
dry weather begins to prevail,

Its common for many commercial growers to do just that. Rather than hand
thinning though, they use chemical thinners, such as NAA and Sevin. Depending
on weather conditions, rates and bloom load, it will take out a percentage of
the flowers.

I thought the article Dave posted explained a pretty well documented and
unbiased approach to understanding what a very comprehensive set of data said
