| Another disturbing report about, among other things, the effect of pesticides on the essential bee populations. This deserves a read, folks.
Also some awful facts about the deaths of hives that are transported, especially in California, to pollinate crops. I feel very disheartened at the moment. Please feel free to cross-post to other forums or give me suggestions as to which would 'get it'. Rosie, Sugar Hill, GA |

| jolj, I have no hives. And know there are many different insects which can pollinate. I posted this because I found it interesting and hoped some readers would also. Did you find areas that you would dispute? Rosie |
