Local beekeepers attribute unusual loss of hives to strange disorder,
many other factors

-Thought you'd be interested.


I am. Thanks. When I'm out, orchestrating my garden, I know that I have
very little idea as to what is actually going on.

When I see bees in the garden, I start to relax because I know mother
nature will take it from there.

So it appears that bee keepers don't have just Colony Collapse Disorder
to worry about but a myriad of other nagging problems as well. Problems
that are possible but not predictable.

I am curious, though, in producing organic honey, how do you get a bee
to go just to organic flowers?
