quite regrettably this is a very very serious issue (honestly do we have any that aren't?)...

initally there were some very troublesome reports back a few months ago and then in typical american fashion... there was some wringing of hands and furrowed eyebrows and worry lined creased foreheads... and then paris hilton went to jail...

it is called colony collapse disorder and it IS still a very serious concern...

IF u r seriously interested this is a good article to get started on...

after i first heard about this issue mrs. ron and i were planning to aquire my mum-in-laws husbands abandoned hives for restoration... i fear that we may have waited too long to aquire the bees however...

sorry... had to add this one:

Albert Einstein once said: “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination … no more men!”

thank you ron. Can't say old Albert didn't know his stuff. Out of that quoted Einstein article above...

**From a NYT article on 2/27/07: “…one study says that honeybees annually pollinate more than $14 billion worth of seeds and crops in US, mostly fruits, vegetables and nuts.”**

I wonder what the likes of Monsanto and their seed altering ilk have to say about the demise of the bee. Collateral damage, I suspect.
