True indeed. And we have been keeping bees for centuries.

Why are they been dying off over the past 30 yrs in amazing numbers?

I sure dont know and we really need to find out.


Bees are not in any danger and neither are crops.
It is only bad beekeeping
and lousy agriculture practices that are in danger.

Small organic beekeepers are not having problems.

It is the large industrial operations that
use lots of chemicals and antibiotics
and feed their bees lots of refined sugar
Those are the bees that are having colonies collapse

Thanks for the book cite.

Now how about some proof of your claim?
