Hello All,
Was an accurate article for the most part (all though I had minor problems
with certain parts) except for one glaring mistake:
" In the past six months ,researchers say, beekeepers in at least 24 states
lost between 25 and 80 percent of their bees"
PAST SIX MONTHS?
This is totally wrong! Six months back from now would be middle April! The
losses occured the six months prior from middle April 2007!
And yes certain beekeepers had 25%-80% losses but the industry as a whole
was healthy as seen by no shortage of bees in almonds or lack of packages
for sale.
