I'd like to share this report I wrote and hear your comments. I am working on a documentary on the vanishing of the bees. I know this problem was going prior to OCt. 06 however this is when David brought it to the attention of the public at hand and beekeepers realized that the bees weren't disappearing due to PPM. How long has the US been importing bees from New Zealand and Australia and why now? What role do you think pesticides play into this? thank you, http://www.thedailygreen.com/2007/08/03/scientists-know-one-cause-of-bee-disease/4754/<http://www.thedailygreen.com/2007/08/03/scientists-know-one-cause-of-bee-disease/4754/> [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ----- ****************************************************** ****************************************************** * Full guidelines for BEE-L posting are at: * * http://www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l/guidelines.htm * ******************************************************
