In Bee News

[aggienaut]

   So I've finally had a chance to catch up on what's new in bee news these past six months.

   If you have been wondering what the deal with Colony Collapse Disorder and/or "I heard the bees were disappearing" is, it appears they may have figured it out. From everything I know about honeybees and past and other research on this subject, the following seems to fit exactly.

   "New Technology finds pathogens that may reconcile contradictory claims on Colony Collapse Disorder"

   I promise the article isn't too filled with technical jargon and mumbo jumbo. I found it quite readable, so if you're at all interested in the subject you should check it out.
   So yeah, them iridescent bees eh.


   In unrelated bee news, China's still trying to smuggle honey in to America.

Peptides made me think of Star Trek.

I had heard a radio interview about a year ago where scientists suspected the combination of foreign pathogens, interesting to see a paper on it.

$40 million dollars worth of Chinese honey must have been a tanker load!

I love my local honey. That's all I have to say on the topic!

I love local honey, I love raw honey, and I love my friend's homemade spiced honey mead.

Also, I think I'm glad I'm not a bee. Because if the only way to find out what diseases I may or may not have is to throw me in a blender with about 59 of my closest pals, I'm going to choose to skip the diagnosis. Still, that was about my favorite phrase of the day!
