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… .

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

Such a terrible thing when that happens ):
