Bee Zen
Mornings like this one, I forget about to-do lists and ten year business plans. I forget too about pesticide kills and chemical-coated produce.
The hum of at least one healthy hive up early for their morning munchies is enough for me.

Another bee kill in Albuquerque
This week, another local (and longtime) beekeeper was devastated by a massive kill in one of his strongest hives. If only bees could form a class action lawsuit…
This is the first of the bee kill from Sept 9th which continued into today the 10th. I have tried to find out who sprayed what where and will hopefully have some leads tomorrow. This hive WAS three stories with a brand new queen.. WAS… Better Living through Chemistry… .

Better Living my foot… have you heard of the No Agenda podcast? They are convinced that CCD is from “our Friends” at Mon$anto.

Jeez, that’s heart breaking. I don’t think pesticides are the only cause of CCD, but one of a witches brew of ingredients.

Such a terrible thing when that happens ):
Looks like it probably was pesticides, I don’t know what else would cause such a sudden mass die off.
In re the above comment though, it is of course manifestly NOT CCD … being as the trademark sign of CCD is specifically the complete disappearance of bees. Dead bees are clearly present here ):

Chemical Kill @ The Polski Hive?
Overnight, the Polski Hive seems to have been poisoned and just like last year’s bee massacre in July, it was sudden and excruciating to witness.
Apparently, pesticide poisoning is a neighborhood tradition.

Oh, jeez, that’s terrible! That’s not exactly a tradition that one wants to continue.

That is really weird. And you have no idea how it is happening? You may want to send some of those to the state university for testing.

That early morning light is beautiful. Sitting and watching the traffic is one of the utter joys of beekeeping.

I have a hive in my garage wall at my rental in Albuquerque Unfortunately my new renter is not comfortable with the bees so they have to go. I don’t mind cutting drywall and repairing the holes to get them a new home. Can you point me towards some help?
