Dudette. There's <a href="http://burningbird.net/photography/bees-20/#comment-29183" rel="nofollow">a good comment by Dave</a> at Shelley's that brings us full circle to the Varroa mite as the root cause. That would seem to be backed up by the UCSF research that finds iflaviral remnants in the ground up dead bees they studied. But I still think it is all tied to the ecocide we wreak on huge tracts of cropland in order to improve crop yields. Jmo. Dudette.

I've been having like, anxiety attacks over the state of bees lately. I have a strong affinity for them (I love social insects, and may become a member of the <a href="http://www.amentsoc.org/" rel="nofollow">Amateur Entomologists' Society</a> or <a href="http://www.iussi.org/index.htm" rel="nofollow">International Union for the Study of Social Insects</a> in the year...) and the fact that so many of them are getting ill... Oh it chills me to the bone. Somebody actually snapped at me for ranting about the bees earlier. The gall (Gaul)! Dude. Frank.
