First time poster and first year beekeeper here.
For the decline in Midwest honey crop, has anyone looked for a
correlation with the use of roundup ready crops. Not the crops
themselves or roundup, but the ability to kill all of the weeds that the
bees may have used in the past? Someone born within the last 10 years
on a farm in the Midwest may not know what a milkweed plant is.
