If you haven’t heard about CCD by now, bless your heart.
Bee colony populations around the world are suffering and the reasons appear to be multi-faceted. Einstein said that the human population would last but a few years if bees became extinct. And it looks like CCD is the AIDS virus of bees.
PBS just put out a documentary that I highly recommend. Here is an excerpt:
In the winter of 2006/2007, more than a quarter of the country’s 2.4 million bee colonies — accounting for tens of billions of bees — were lost to CCD, Colony Collapse Disorder. This loss is projected have an $8 billion to $12 billion effect on America’s agricultural economy, but the consequences of CCD could be far more disastrous.
This is what happens when you have unsafe pollenation.
Yep. Abstinence only never does the trick.
