Aaron convinced me to be tactful
Brian:answer in archives, not far back
more than 1/2 my life
Waldemar: good post -- but --
Easier said than done with a foot of snow
And I would look for what?
glow in dark pollen?
lack of bees?
??
brood free from inspection & estimation
fall is easy, spring hard
Chris: I like the temp sensor idea
>evidence of ccd?
many indicators, but the clincher is
the effect of dead-out boxes on wax moth & ants
ccd is deadly to ants
Part of the S yard HAD a big ant problem,
so bad that 2 of the hives were behind
an "oil moat" previous years
No more a problem now
I've never seen so many bees leave,
so consistently at such low temperatures
So much so that the birds consider it a feeder
(again, NOT excessive #s I hope
odd that they chose to die outside)
Despite appearances I give these
e-mails considerable thought
But if there is no interest I'll shut-up
After all its no worse than the
ag departments are doing
What ever happened to "Publish or perish"?
