I am adding another bee dieoff to my list of bee moralities in the Historical Honeybee Articles: Files > 13) Bee Mortality & Hardship Seeking information about the massive dieoff of honey bee colonies in South Africa, which occurred after Cape Bees were introduced to the northern part of South Africa. I have the year 1996 as one of severe bee mortality and 1990 as the year Cape bees were brought north, but I need to verify, and find good reference to this information and other related facts. Also, it would be interesting to know when it was first discovered Cape bees were causing this dieoff. Thanks in Advance! Best Wishes J.
