Don't know if you saw 60 min. tonite but pretty scary info about bees disappearing in mass quantities with no known reason. A 6 month old show but an update stated that the same thing is happening again this year. Beekeepers will be forced out of business and look for food prices to rise if a solution is not found. Very bad situation. I have noticed a continual drop in bees in the last 17 years of having fruit trees and small fruits. Every year seems to get worse, and I have a cranberry grower with bees a 1/4 mile away. I have gotten to rely on bumbles and Mason bees to do most of what little I get in pollination. Bees, as stated in the show, are a good barometer of the environment and we know what we do to the environment.
