| Re: Disappearing bees
I think the American honey Bees are just worked to death,trucked thousands of miles in a season working huge tracts of land ,permanently disorientated,
underfed their resistence is weakened and they die.
In Britain farmland is going monoculture these specially bred plants do not have the goodness in their nectar as their post war parents had so they work harder and their resistence to disease falls,the wet and windy conditions are no help either
