        I've noticed a lot of Honeybees on my clover this year - far more 
than the past few years - and I don't know of any nearby managed hives.  I'm 
thinking they are feral (wild) bees.  Has anyone on the list come across any 
news items about the varroa mite & resistance?  Is no news good news?  I was 
always hopeful that there would be enough honeybees out there with natural 
resistance so that the dire predictions of pollination crashes were too 
pessimistic.
