hmmm....didn't hear anything about the adverse effects of cellphone masts in this video...

It´s definately cellphones then.The cellphone masts made the bees and the songbirds leave....I think that people are supposed to cut off the elecrtical lines to get things back to normal and then use spare electricity from old electronic technology and start things all over....In other words go back in time electronically to the pre cell phone masts era. Then they must only produce that electricity which is based on implosion instead of explosion. regards,y.

Plenty of strange things are happening around us and we dont even take a blind bit of notice!..it aint just bees that are missing!...what about this...Do you remember? Windscreens were covered once, at the end of a car trip in high summer, with an insect massacre: splattered moths and squashed flies and wasps and gnats and God knows what. But in recent years more and more drivers seem to be finding their windscreens clear. Now there is something going on that we dont understand!

American corporations and businesses will always put profit before scientific reasoning.

Do you know if other beekeepers have been experiencing the same good year?

YOu can blame this all on America. This issue is Global. This is happening all over the place in different country.

I've been keeping bees for six years. I have more bees per hive this year '08 than I have ever had. This has been a really good year so far. Humans once had the plague to deal with, maybe the bees had a bee plague. And I never let my bees talk on a cell phone.

I use to spray the yard with a mix of year long kill off sprays on the bare ground. The trees & garden remain sprayless. Next year I'll use a much more effective method of keeping aggressive weeds down: A shovel, elbow grease and replacing those spaces with NATIVE so. calif flowers and herbs. I hope to bring the bees to our yard again. I'm sorry, Bees for using sprays. No more, ok?
