Peter:
Miller said neither scientists nor beekeepers understand
what's at the root of the collapsing colonies.He believes
about a third of collapsing colony disorder is due to
poor management by the beekeepers. "They aren't following
the new standards for hive husbandry," Miller said. "Things
have changed."
Reply:
Boy, can I believe that one for not understanding how a
natural system works anymore, as beekeepers have gotten
more into factory farming with bees and more and more
artificial knowingless dysorder. Don't think I would want
to follow any new standards for hive husbandry seeing how
things are going, while going back to good old-fashioned
ways that have worked for years prior to 1930 while just
keeping modern equipment for me seems to work just fine for
this poor old woman.
