honey bees
Has anyone here noticed or been affected? Sounds not too good. http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2007/0...20070205144500 |

Has anyone here noticed or been affected? Sounds not too good. http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2007/0...20070205144500 Lots have been affected, it seems as though mainly migratory beekeepers. Our bees didn't make it through the winter (twi hives) but that was because of the weather. Too warm then waaaay too cold! We've got seven hives going for this spring. As for CCD, the jury is still out (cell phones, pesticides, nosema, miticides). Hopefully our little fuzzy girls will make it through this crisis! -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |

In all my many years of beekeeping there were always scare stories and doom-mongers. I don't know about this latest one, it might be true and serious or it might not be. But I sometimes think that there are more expert beekeepers than there are beekeepers :-) Mary |

I hope they pull through too. |
