Sandy, environmental groups as well as agricultural organizations have been working on this problem for years now without much resolve. The Calif. almond industry has been importing bees for several years from other states and it is running out of resources. Although a lot of factors and contributors to the bee colony collapses there is NO one fix to date. A very sad and desperate need for immediate help. Sincere hope things can be brought to a controllable level if not completely fixed over time.....

Thank you for posting. I cleaned snow away away from my surviving hives and heard buzzing in 4 out of 6 hives. This winter has been brutal for bees and add parasitic mites, pesticides, and diseases to the mix--its a wonder that bees still survive....................Jim
