Possibly off topic but I'll take a chance Aaron will let it through. We have a bee & bat mystery as discussed here on the list, salmon on the west coast that are not returning http://www.latimes.com/classified/jobs/news/la-me-salmon15mar15,0,7649592.story and now this news on deformed bird beaks in the Pacific NW and Alaska in areas of less human activity. http://www.adn.com/wildlife/story/368008.html maybe no connections but still makes you wonder about the timing of these events. **************************************************** * General Information About BEE-L is available at: * * http://www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l/default.htm * ****************************************************
