Looks like they solved the bee die-offs

Posted by David Hardy · 19 July 2007 11:26 AM

Story here. It appears to be a tiny parasite, somehow imported from Asia.

I can tell you that they've died off around here. When the mesquite tree bloomed last year, it was overrun with bees, who love mesquite nectar. This year -- I literally could not find one of them on it.

Combine this with the late freeze we had in March and no wonder my apples aren't out this year. I have, literally, perhaps 1/10th of them growing from last year. It's a real pain in the ass, since I make some of my income from them, give them out to the neighbors and co-workers, and so forth.

Its going to be like Dutch Elm Disease which originated in Asia also. The American elms were all wiped out, only elms remaining are Asiatic elms. The solution will end up being Asianized bees.

Oh, nonsense. What does Asian parasites have to do with global warming? Or my cell phone? Or my car? Or my being an American? Or me eating beef? Stop spreading these irresponsible rumors.

Ain't the global economy great?

Since I shoot Revolutionary War era firearms, I bought four pounds of beeswax in the Spring after reading earlier stories about this. I assumed the price of beeswax (used to lubricate the patches for the ball) was going to sky rocket.

My rosemary plant usually has bees crawling all over it throughout Spring and Summer, but not this year. I blame Gore.
