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.
