Hi, just wondering if anyone else is hearing about the decline of honey bees?
I have read on the internet a article from the Boston Herald, that we really don't know why they are dyeing off. There are alot of speculations, for example... chemical contamination, parasites, malnutrition, erratic weather, stress from transportation or genetic weakness due to breeding. Another possibility is a condition call "colony collapse disorder" which has shown up in Canada, Europe and 24 other states. What I didn't read in the Boston Herald was that cell phones could be to blame. The signal confuses the bees and they can't find there way back to the hive and they die. Hoping they find the reason soon, for we really need the bees to pollinate our crops.
