I wish the researcher all the best. Bees are unbelievably important to our eco-system. Plus they provide with several very good and healthy products along the way.

China imports Royal Bee Jelly ... Good thing I forgot it down at the trailer or I would be freaking...GRRRR My jar better not say China, maybe that why I feel sick...

[B4Ranch]

Are you still beeping?

[Issaquahking]

Naw, frothing at times though.

Last week, I threw away my excess frame parts. I’m down to one empty hive with a brood chamber and 3 supers.

There used to be many swarms available in the spring to repopulate dead colonies but there have been none in years.

Seriously, thanks for posting this. This could be the critical break through. :-D

[SunkenCiv]

But still no clue in sight for the A disease.

Sorry, I’ve been in the topic before, but up it popped in the active list, soooo...

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Thanks for the ping. I’m all clover it.

To Bee or not to Bee?

O Death, where is thy Sting?

Hummmmmmm. If fraudulent doctors offer worthless cures in exchange for honeycomb, then we would have....not only a Center for Disbees Control, we'd also have...

...a bee see disease that whacks bees wax quack wisecracks.

Hun, Hunk and Honey Ping!

Pun for All and All for Pun....
Funners & Punners
ping list PING! (see keyword FReePun)
If you want either on or off
this family-safe occasional ping list,
you must be out of your minds....


I don't ping the list to threads that are sacreligious or tacky or seem likely to become so.
(on or off requests, just FReepmail, enclosing a nominal $217.95 list processing fee).

And the Bee-American community breathes a sigh of relief.

Hopefully, this mysterious malady will help vanish the Fresno Bee!

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

If only the media were better behived....

And you can’t beelieve a lot of what they write anyway. You have to really have to comb through the articles to get at the truth. It’s a sticky process. Frequently their national POLLens are askew.

LOL! Thank you for brightening up my day, SOA!

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

LOL—EXCELLENT!

[Enterprise]

Thanks - high praise coming from the KING of Freeper puns! :)

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Glad to be of service. It’s one of the advantages of paying your in-comb tax on time.

[yorkie]

If you pay mine, you'll have double the advantage! ;-)

I've been wondering what the status was on this...I know someone who has speculated that the collapse is likely related to pesticides.....looks like this article is suggesting (very mildly, of course) that pesticide exposure could well be one of the stressors.

I have no doubt it likely is more than due to pesticide exposure and make that statement in no MILD terms. Of course, when and if they reach that conclusion, the pesticide companies will make outrageous claims, vilify the scientists and/or their purpose and/or gin up something to counter their conclusions.

Sweet !
