Hey guys! Well, we've worked out a new processing system in which Brad searches for foundresses and then I peel the seeds off of the fruit in addition to my other jobs. It's actually working MUCH faster!
Anyway, we're going back to site 172 today (second to North-est) to see if one of the trees we checked out is out of interphase and into male phase. We've given it a week or so, so it's looking good.
There are fewer wasps up here, for the most part. The definitely-male-phased fruits have had thicker skins from the more northern sites. That should be interesting if the trend continues in the fruits we gather today.
Wish us luck!
