Hello All,
Those on the list which subscribe to "The Speedy Bee " will find an article
on page 5 of vol. 36 No. 2 ( mailed 04-04-07) by Phil Craft (Kentucky State
Apiarist).

Possibly one of the best articles I have read in a long time. I actually cut
the article out and stuck on the wall of my office!

I think the list could find the article in the March issue of "The Buzz" at
the Kentucky State web site.

 The article is:
"Why Do We lose Colonies in Winter"

I believe Troy Fore thought the same as I did when he first read the article
that Phil's article is a must read for those with today's high winter
losses
and a reminder for those not seeing high losses that winter bee loss and
poor management go hand in hand!

When my bees winter good I think *all my hard work paid off!*

 If they do not winter good then I look in the mirror for the problem.

I am not saying CCD is not real. I know some very smart CCD people are
looking at bees closer than they maybe ever have been looked at in the U.S.
for which I am grateful! Perhaps a better understanding of our bees will
come out of the research! I hope a new problem is not found but if one is
then we need to know as soon as possible.

I do know I am not seeing *unexplained* loss in my bees.

Bob

I subscribe to the Speedy Bee because at times Troy has articles and
industry information the other sources do not.
