I believe that we as beekeepers are challenged with bee kill. Bob's post is intriguing. We may think about giving the bees a vacation once and while to recover instead of push ... Push.. Push.. May be a simple change like 1/2 of the bees off to pollination and the other 1/2 for honey production. It might help in many ways of reducing exposure to what is out there and transportation, etc. Bringing them to canada would not help because of the white stuff and freezing cold. May be Hawaii or Florida would be better environment. The challenges facing bees are not forgiving. If you don't address them on time the price will be to high bee kill. I am sure that beekeepers are doing their best according to tools and information available to them. Medhat
