A beekeeper I know says the parasite issue can be solved by putting mentholated cough drops in the hive and letting the bees eat the sugar (and menthol) which kills the parasites.

No, I am not making this up.

Is this something he does in his own hives?

I’ve heard the polar bear isn’t in any danger either.

"Learn about mason bees."

I knew the Masons were behind all this.

Whatever happened to the disappearing Ozone layer? Did we save it after banning freon, dear lord...freon was the enemy.
**********************************************************
Freon R-12 and R-22 are now thought to be between 10 and 100 times LESS hazardous to the ozone layer compared to the initial hysteria... I have a mobile a/c license and can tell you that you must still regurgitate the lies about harming the planet to get that license.. It really was all about taking market share away from DuPont...

My husband, who works at Sears and was fit to be tied over the pain with that freon issue, told me the same thing.

I would suggest everytime we hear global warming that we ask what happened to that ozone layer and the Bird Flu.

They gotta make up something.

I couldn’t sleep sometimes worrying about the ozone layer.

Cough drops do not work.

He has tried it and says that it works.

I do not know anything about bees except that when we were little kids and I got stung, my older brother offered this sage advice;"Never fight a bee".

I had heard that our state is pretty healthy because we don’t allow out of state bees in. A truck transporting bees may stop in the state of gas, but no bees may be off-loaded here.
