honey bee collapse

[Raven]

the ole lady accidentally hit the remote
as she got up from the couch
and i was pleasantly surprised...to see it.

i had over fifty hives in the mountains in California
that i used to take care of.

i thought it was interesting that we have plans to
genetically alter or combine the good features of the
aggressive African bee's with our own honey bee's
to give them immunity to the disease.

I also found it interesting that china exported 90%
of the royal jelly and that American bee keepers were buying it
in bulk to feed to their colonies...

I hope to be fully involved as a bee keeper in 2008
and making my own hives and experimenting on my own.

watching the Chinese doing their own pollination by hand was
fascinating... and the cost to America of 90 billion dollars
to do ours was unbelievable...

the shape of a bee....their aero -dynamics are all wrong
and by the laws of science they shouldn't be able to
fly at all... makes you think of robotic insects for pollination
being an impossibility.
