News: Bees in more trouble than ever after bad winter

[gaelic cowboy]

It's obvious it's a combination of the migratory beekeeping allied with the high energy foods we feed hives nowadays which are killing them, were basically putting them under too much stress.

Well over half the profit in beekeeping is in the almond orchards in California but most of them are transported from out of the state on big trucks. That is surely wrong sticking 500 hundred hives on the back of a lorry and driving from Iowa or summit cannot be good for the bee.

If beekeeping tottaly collapsed the amount of food on the plate would be seriously reduced time to call a halt to this codology methinks the almond business needs to be reduced soon
