   The trouble with boxed bumblebees are two-fold, according to advertising 
I got recently.  They cost $250 per box and they don't regenerate 
themselves.
   Marla Spivak, University of Minnesota entomologist spoke about 
bumblebees at one of our beekeeping meetings.  She mentioned that she and 
her colleagues would see if they could duplicate boxed bumblebee rearing to 
bring the price down.  That was several years ago with no progress report.
