The bees have all disappeared around here too. Now the powers that be at the turkey & hog houses have to put out fly bait for the flys. The last couple of years the flys have increased while the bees (of all varieties) have decreased. Could it be that the flys have become immune to the bait while the bees have become susceptible to it? Or might it all be stemming from where the county sprays for the 'skeeters'? just my musings.........any opinions? Rae The jury is still out, but the best bet is that all the cell phone towers are messing with the bees navigation and they just don't make it back home with food. The cell phone idea was based on faulty evidence and has been thrown out as a cause to the problem. .. -- We must change the way we live, or the climate will do it for us. |
