Where I live, we are surrounded by turkey and hog houses: literally - the
closest "people" house is 1 mile away. 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?

Straight up, I don't know. Based on everything I've seen in the past 4
decades, I would venture a man-made problem that originates for something
for his convenience. Something overlooked or ignored during testing of
same.

I have lots of bees. Southern Ca. must be where they are all going. They
like the weather.
