A neighbor of mine has lost hives that have been healthy for over 20 years.

Tracheal mites have been a real problem for a while now, but that usually kills the bees in the hive. This is strange and potentially threatening to our food supply.

Correct.My neighbor has spent a lot of money having the few dead bees left in the hive examined by various labs and entomologists but nothing has turned up. What is most puzzling is that the vast majority of them are just plain gone.

I have been hearing about the mites for the last serveral years. I remember the guy in the office next to me claim the bees were dying due to the US not signing Kyoto. Then the mite story came out. He was not happy man wasn’t the cause of it.
