Another AP story on AOL News

And another screwup by the press.  Do appreciate their attempts at reporting, but when I see their SNAFU's with bee stories, I wonder how they mess up stories about people.  This particular reporter mixed up Varroa and Trachial mites.  The reporter got the message out but it was an inaccurate one. "The mites infest the breathing tubes of bees, and causes hives to become smaller, said Susan Hansen, a beekeeper in rural Clackamas County." as written by the reporter reporting on our Varroa problem.  He/she got two stories mixed up.
