Chris,  could you please elaborate on the 1987 crash--time of year,
conditions,  symptoms, suspected causes?



I have consulted several members of the Bee Inspectorate and the best reply 
 is this one from David Packham:
 
"I  have no published information on the colony loses in 1987. However I 
was keeping  Bees then and if I remember correctly there was an extremely cold 
spell in  January followed a further prolonged cold spell in April that 
isolated the bee  from there stores. Or in could have been the crash in share 
prices or the great  storm that course the losses."
