Can’t be true.

Liberals have been suing Bayer because their nicotine-based pesticide was the culprit.

Gotta love how liberals are so consistent on their idiocy toward “evil corporations”. They have no data to base their allegations on, and they just “know” a “company” must be the cause.

Gee, weren't the doom-and-gloomers (a/k/a Goron Morons) blaming the collapse of honey bee colonies on "Global Warming" last year?

Two great beekeeping sites:
www.biobees.com
www.beemaster.com

Both have lots of free videos, links, and friendly forums. Youtube is also a wonderful resource to learn about beekeeping.

And you should! :D

How about nationalized health care for honey bees?
