Microscopic Parasite Killing Our BEES

[niecy]

I was reading the link you posted 2many. It is very interesting.

I can't do a lot to change the world, but I do try.

Mr. Crowder states in that article that commercial beekeeping is "hard" on the bees.

This year I planted several flowering plants in my landscaping. I have a fair amount of bees, but what I have gotten a lot of is surprising, there is probably close to a dozen hummingbirds on my property this year, and I have never noticed having any before.

I noticed that the gentleman said the crops were also affecting the hummingbirds and I was glad to know that I had by chance given home to that many.

According to the charity 'Buglife' (...ummm must contact them about a certain gnat), the villain causing bee collapse in the uk is neonicotinoid pesticide.
