Are there any Palestinian or Israeli beekeepers on the list who would be
willing to comment on how the spraying associated with West Nile is affecting
you, if at all?

Israel struck by West Nile virus epidemic
    An outbreak of West Nile virus in Israel has become an epidemic that has
killed 13 people and infected scores more, the Health Ministry said today.
   "With 161 sick and 13 dead, it's an epidemic," a ministry spokeswoman
said.
She said the ministry was trying to combat the mosquito-borne virus with the
only means available — spraying mosquito-infested areas and warning people to
use insect repellents.
   Israel's Health Ministry said in a statement that hospitals were admitting
15 people every day who were infected by the virus, which is named after the
West Nile region of Uganda and Egypt where it is most common.
