Hello All,
Taken from page 26 of the American Beekeeping Federation newsletter for
November/December:
"Reports are coming in from around the country of beekeepers losing 30,40,60
percent of their colonies again. This is very early for these types of
losses and when winter gets underway things are likely to get worse. There
is talk of bees getting to California already that half or more of the load
will not be pollinators for almonds. One trucking firm is reporting that
they are under shipping by 100 loads this year. "
