Utah honeybee deaths rising

Honeybee keepers in the Beehive State are experiencing heavy losses this spring, with bees in entire hives dying - jeopardizing crops that rely on bees for pollination, from almonds to cotton to strawberries.

State agriculture and food specialists believe the problem may be Colony Collapse Disorder, a phenomenon that has been under the microscopes at the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the last two years and has caused $150 million in losses for U.S. beekeepers.

I do hope they find a way to deal with this problem because I do like honey. Plus the fact it is the only food that never spoils is a plus to keep it around.

You are so right the nectar of the gods it is, a healer and tasty.

This is a phenomenon that is all across North America. In Canada Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba (remote areas) are the least effected. The closer to Urban sprawl the worse the infliction. Some experts claim it si noise that is killing them, might be EMF or audible the link is there but far from understood as of yet.

One expert stated he is sure it is EMF and RF that is the culprit and is trying hard to prove it, so just maybe tweenies and teens should not have their own phone and a cell phone should be just for emergency and people let up on the electrical usage.

I hope the cause is found as biological issues such as disease has been ruled out! We are in real jeopardy and should be taking this as a major issue if wheat and corn are used up in cars, bees dieing and crops not being pollinated many will surely be hungry and starving in the next decades to come. Only good part is less human to muck things up.

I will have to do some more research on this. I think that urban sprawl has had an effect on a lot of creatures. I do hope that the honey bee can be spared so we continue to have that nectar

For many orange growers it is very scary. Bees hive a on a truck and that truck is paid to go from farm to farm to pollinate crops. Without these little fellas there will be food. So we need to be very scared and try to help them.
