Hello All,
The "Speedy Bee" (published by Troy Fore) came today. Front page headlines:
"Colonies Reeling from Coast-To -Coast; Varroa blamed for Massive Bee
Die-Off."
The article says two teams from two bee labs have been sent to California to
survey the problem and take samples.
Troy also says :
" estimates have been placed at 50% of the bees in California, with some
beekeepers losing 75-80% of their bees."
Perhaps Mr Fore will comment as he reads BEE-L and comments from time to
time.
Sincerely,
Bob Harrison
