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. 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. Richard M. Watkin. |
