Re: Colony Collapse and Honeycomb Size
Thanks Grzbear for the article. I'd have to say, though, there is one thing is this article that is completely false!
>> "I’m on an organic beekeeping email list of about 1,000 people, mostly Americans, and no one in the organic beekeeping world, including commercial beekeepers, is reporting colony collapse on this list."
I know of someone who taught me beekeeping that has managed bees for about 30 years as a small organic beekeeper. She told me that last year her colony collasped and is working on a new colony this year.
Also, I'd like to point out that it would be virtually impossible to have a "pure" organic crop of foods/plants or honey, because of the high air toxic pollutants and the continual display of chemtrails! Aside from the mites, bees have been found to have Morgellons which maybe another factor in the puzzle. Therefore, I find the above statement hard to believe that no organic beekeepers have not been affected by this worldwide problem based on first-hand information from a very trusted person. Perhaps that person has a very "special" list of people who have not been affected (maybe). :)
