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