Thanks for the Dose, snugs. The Houlihan girls made my day as they are dressed appropriately for meeting with the President; no flip flops and no pantsuits...

Closely related to the production of honey, has anyone finally figured out the definitive answer to why more than the usual number of bees have died throughout both the spring and summer of this year? There’s still a serious shortage of bees this year that greatly affects the total amount of honey that’s being produced throughout the U.S. Was it possibly due to parasites or because of some kind of a virus?
