Hello Everyone,

A very interesting article entitled" Bees in the Forest, Still" was
published in the January edition of the Bee Culture. Tom Seeley resurved
an area for feral bees and compared the results with a survey he
conducted in 1978.

Seems there is about twice as many feral colonies as before! Could the
ferals be rebounding from the mites?

Mark Winston in last month's Bee Culture noted a surviving feral colony
In France that triggered a trail of research.

Yoon in Oklahoma, Dave Green in the southeast and Adrian on the west
coast have reported finding surviving feral bees. Is anyone else
observing this?

Very interesting stuffl

Living where feral bees were few to none even in the best of times.
