But doesn’t the dogma of St. Algore attribute this to global warming?

If this was 1957, there'd be a really crappy film out about 50-foot bees next week, produced for about $122.87.
I take it that you haven't seen the Sci-Fi channel lately?
"Mansquito" makes 1950's horror movies look like "The Godfather", in comparison.

Thanks for the ping. This is a nice piece of research, also applicable to infectious diseases in humans.

The mysterious deaths have struck between 50 percent and 90 percent of commercial honeybee hives in the United StatesOrganic beekeepers are having no effect. Commercial beekeepers put pesticides in hives, feed antibiotics to bees & have cells 50% larger than normal etc. Maybe not the answer but should be checked out.

“The little pollinators should declare beehad on the Israelis and the Australians.”
Extremely too clever, decimon.
Thank you for the good laugh!

Bees are not native to North or South America, they were introduced by the white man. Yet American plants managed pollination before that. Maybe we should start butterfly hives instead.

Bees are not native to North or South America...The type of bee in question is not native to the Americas but other bees are.

Thanks for the ping......
I’m begining to think the disappearing bees won’t be a problem. We don’t have any bees this year and the harvest from our garden didn’t seem to suffer at all.
