Ahhh, the lioness just wants to chomp his tender little head. Maybe slap him around a bit first.

Well thanks and don't me wrong...I think Monsanto are evil scumbags, however they are just a piece of this puzzle.

Pesticides get stored in the beeswax. They strongly suspect that the chems work synergistically and a way that negatively effects the colony. Basically building up until it toasts them.

The first thing to understand is CCD is a syndrome, "a group of symptoms that together are characteristic of a specific disorder, disease, or the like." This means it's not one factor causing the problem. Researchers feel it is a perfect storm of causes; parasites & disease, lack of genetic diversity (all apis…

Yup, exactly.

The Triple is a great bike. That was my second choice.

This is my beasty.
