Becky, think about this. The bees love my Myers Lemon tree when it's in boom. Now, when the orange trees are in bloom in the groves, think how many bees are attracted to them. Now, understand that former orange groves (dead groves) are declared to be contaminated grounds. Totally contaminated because of all the sprays they do on the oranges and grapefruit. They are contaminated lands when the groves are abandoned. What do you think??? Maybe that's why bees are dying. They love citrus!
