So what is the proposed action to deal with the losses of bee colonies?

I have not lost a single hive to the problem yet but am only reporting a
situation starting which I am concerned about.

How are the authorities viewing the problem?

I have not brought the problem to the attention of the bee lab as only
seeing early signs of a problem now.

If the signs of  a problem persist I will move the hives in those yards to a
different location at the end of the honey flow and go through those hives.
I have dug down in several hives and have not found a problem as brood
appears normal and it seems at present that foragers are disappearing but
way too early to say what the problem is.

I got a report Saturday from Texas that the bees  are looking better than in
years. Will be interesting to get comments this fall from those guys after
the bees are moved onto honey locations.

Bob
