The author of Bumblebee Economics, Bernd Hiendrich (sp?) will be on "Open Source" wednesday evening (8 PM EST) on your National Public Radio station, if you get that program.

They did an hour on CCD last night w/ Dennis van Englesdorp and Hiendrich and the guy who keeps bees in NY City. He claimed to have lost quite a few hives to CCD this last winter.

cool, thanks for the tip, although I don't know if we get that particular program. its Bernd Heinrich

Thanks for the correction. My ability to spell correctly isn't what it aught to be.

The show is on at 7, not 8.

Great topic...thanks for adding it!
