my town and several towns in my area are not using pesticides in public parks school grounds and other areas. guess what? it works. FOlks need to get on board with less is more, less toxins,...

you are right Andrew. What is coming next? I am sure they have a whole new arsenal of even more toxic stuff to throw at them.

I am not twisting anyone's arm here and whoever says bees are rebounding, well, that makes me happy. Perhaps these districts have started limiting the use of these pesticides. Many studies point to...

all you have to do is look in posts regarding beelogics you will see who has served on their advisory board.

In EU, after banning the chems, the bees rebounded. Sweet and simple practical science.

Also, sadly, when Monsanto purchased Beelogics they also bought a few beekeepers along with it.

Back in August Governor Christie sent some letters to member of the NJBA thanking them for their essential work with honeybees. I thought to take this and run with it and ask the Governor for his...

DLMKA. DId you see what Mr. Ingram was working on a year before? He was making important connections between glyphosate and toxcity to wildlife and HONEYBEES. Need I say more?

Regarding the toxic stuff remaining in the soil, this is true, now would be a good time to explore the "lower risk alternatives".

Perhaps that depends on whether they find that statement true ( about it being safe) . Here we go again.

yup. read the file from the lawsuit. if only this had happened with other stuff..anyhow, about time. to quote Dave Hackenberg, the Environmental Whatever!!!:applause:

Hi Omie. Thanks for verifying that for me. I know Sam is a rising star and he puts a lot of thought into his technique. Less is more! We are waiting for him! I can't wait to see the look on the...

I put an ad in our local internet forum and that is how I placed my hives. Also arboretums and gardens have much interest. Also giving "bee talks" at gardens and libraries and schools helps get out...

Thanks RBH. I do worry but not to worry I do enjoy & have fun I'm Italian after all! Well, I do worry because if I don;t I worry there will be no world left to enjoy!

Thank you xen for the very thoughtful article on ccd...as I said before our bees are trying to tell us something. As beekeepers we ought to know to listen up and pay attention.

also, S M I don't know about there not being enuff food, I think there is even a surplus, what we should be worrying about is the water (uh oh here comes another one)

OK S M. Got you. Something must have happened to the doses between those times in which the stuff was rendered pretty lethal.

Omie, what does Sam do for mites? I think what KW has done is found a way to have them coexist without dire consequences for the bees. There was an article I read somewhere about how feral bees are...
