Yes, and speaking of bees it is VERY alarming that colony collapse disorder is now hitting bee colonies worldwide. I hope they get to the bottom of this mystery bee killer. Up to 80-90 percent of beekeepers' colonies are gone in my area, and since CA is a leading agriculture state that’s a real problem. It’s to the point where pollinating the tree nut crops, among other agricultural uses, may be threatened. Price hikes on produce, among other things, will result if this keeps up. Our entire food supply, including livestock feed, depends on pollination, chiefly from European bees. Strangely, the mainstream media has not picked on this story to the extent it deserves. I myself have personally observed 100s of bees dead and dying along a one mile path I like to walk, not once but three times in the past four months. I've lived in the area for over 30 years, and I have never seen anything like it. I've also noticed fewer bees in my garden, which exceeds 50 roses. In some countries systemic pesticides are banned due to the harsh effects on pollinators and other beneficial insects, and last I heard bee experts are zeroing in on nicotine-based pesticides as a potential culprit.
