This is wonderful! Thank you for starting this
I saw a documentary on TV about beekeepers. These beekeepers are in the business of pollination and are hired by say almond orchard farmers. They truck the bees and hives from place to place as needed.
It was a very sad story to watch as many of the bee colonies died from the mysterious CCD. While interviewing them they were discussing what they thought the causes of the CCD were and the main culpret seems to be thoughts that chemicals such as Round-up and weed killers are contaminating the pollen and nectar. They also discussed the idea that possibly these GMO's that are being used as crops are killing the honeybees because it is an un-natural food source.
I think I told you that we have plans to raise some honeybees too. I look forward to learning from you.
