Where I live, we are surrounded by turkey and hog houses: literally - the

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?

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.



Hi All,
I do know that if you site a beehive under high voltage pylons they are not
very happy, and tend to be bad tempered. hope this helps you.
