Linky to article??

That's only a few miles away from me.. Should be less bees here too then, I guess.

I found a link to a story about this issue, don't think it is the same one the OP quoted however:

www.cbc.ca...

It seems that this is going to be an interesting year in food prices. No bees and deep freeze down to Florida, ouch. Wendy's didn't even have tomatoes the other day, just a sign saying that they couldn't get any from the supplier due to the weather in Florida. Can't wait to see the prices of fruit this summer

Edit to add a thought.

In what you think no. In true essence yes.

What is true essence and why does it matter what it thinks bees are symbolic of?

Watch your language there, partner.

The link between honeybee's dying and worldwide catastrophe might be there, but it's not worth calling people names.

I want to see this 'Einstein' prophecy.
I still have fly's, mosquitoes, bees, wasps, hornets, and etc...where I live.

The article said that the bees died, but failed to mention the cause.
Hmm....

It's probably a local disease, like that fungus back in colonial britain I believe.

I live just south of you. I have not noticed a huge die off of insects (especially not biting insects).

However I have noticed a decline of some pollinators. Honey bees were nearly gone about 2 years but bounced back last year, Bumblebees have not changed at all in terms of numbers that I can see. Lots of wasps and hornets everyyear, butterflies and moths vary greatly with the weather, last year was not the best for them as it was cool in IL.

What would I know? I have extensive flower beds and I try and attract native wildlife.

As far as CCD is concerned I'm pretty sure they have found the causes and it all boils down to poor husbandry. They are malnurished and weakened, making them prey to all kinds of disease and parasites.

Our state Palmetto Bugs (cockroaches) are large enough to ride here.
I wish the fire ant population in South Carolina would die off 1/10 or
even 90%. You can't garden in crocs here.
Maybe everyone should get a book on honey bees and start raising them in their back yards. Honey is even a mild antibiotic.
