cool diary, thanks arg.

is anyone going to investigate bee keepers in cultures where chem-ag farming is not the m.o.?

ie, is this really world-wide, or is it local to where abuse of the ecosystem is most intense?

i would think studying the immune and genetic systems of healthy bee colonies would provide the best clues to providing beestocks that could bring new strength into our bees' genepool.

bees are so much more important than people think.

what's next, peak honey?

The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it. Chinese Proverb.

I will see if I can find anything.  I did see something, I believe in the quoted or cited literature, to the effect that the impact of the mites and especially the IAPV was less in Europe, possibly because of a lower incidence of industrial US style beekeeping.

If sanity be culturally normative, then by the norms of this culture I claim insanity.
