It seems bee's problem of where was going is getting clear a little..acording of
research institution by univercity in USA , 30% of bee in USA disapear in this tow
years..this problem spread 35 states..one hundred kind of fruits and vegitable were
depend on pollination by bee that a beekeeper have..main fruits flower blossom
season were almond and next is cherry and next is apple..bee keeper drive with
moving to an orchard and orchard..
It seems a habit of bee is favorite to eat many kind of nector..so It seems hard
work as eat only one kind of nector in learge orchard...beekeeper move next
place three weeks later..bee caught stress with long driving ,too....strange thing is
death body of bee isn't discover and only don't return back to bee nest..
It seems lebel down of immunity make bee weak and tired..a larva must eat
many kind of nector but they eat only one kind of nector during six days for
important growth time...
It seems onother problem is take used weed-killer and insecticide..this drug
make bee stress..these drug break to bee's nerve and lose bee's direction sense..
or take use pheromone to bee that get more work power..
Concern about these report, it seems broken to natural style in nature..one reason
is orchard become large and one fruits orchard continu same area..this is result of
mass order fruits from world for example, almond or mask melon or blue berry..
one beekeeper have around 1,000 box of nest..but it seems limited is one hundred
nest box for care to bee..Wondering, bee became tire for deal with request of
mass honey production...

Too many people are spraying their fruit trees before the blossums fall off. Then when the bees arrive at the trees, they are poisoned by the insecticide spray. I actuall argued with my neighbor about it. He sprays his trees as soon as the leaves form in the spring. I do not spray my trees at all since we are trying organic means to eliminate pests (luring birds to the area, releasing ladybugs, and planting marigolds). It will be a major economical disaster if the bee population drops any further.
Thanks for the post.

we need the bees to spread our pollen ,right?
I read that cell phones might be causing a problem with the bees. Interfering with the bees ability to get around.
