Colony Collapse Disorder?

Wes Phillips  |  May 8, 2007

Classical Values takes a sharp look at the much ballyhooed honeybee blight. "The bees that seem to be suffering from Colony Collapse Disorder are the ones that get boxed up and trucked around, and they've been kept going for decades with regular dustings of miticides. Whether this is good for bees and how long they can be expected to compete with wild insects is of course debatable."

Hmmm, I did not know that.

Rest easy. They've all moved to my plot of ground. I have had an ever increasing number of bees over the last few years and it's becoming "a problem." If you want to attract bees, plant Privet. I didn't even plant the stuff, but it has invaded my acreage and the bees just love it. Both, are way out of control.
