In all of these so-called threats to honeybees, what we have is a threat to
human beekeepers.  There are still feral or wild colonies the world over that
will deal with these threats.  A beekeeper however who waits for his bees to
develop their own methods will go out of business.
 
Rejoice in the birth of Christ.
