Great Ted talk by Marla Spivak on "Why Bees Are Dissapearing" that was on NPR a couple of weeks ago.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY7iATJVCso If you follow her suggestions to plant flowers and go "...cide" free (pesticide, herbicide, fungicide) buy plants from local growers, from small seed companies or save seeds from a friends garden. Forget about buying seeds pretreated with fungicides or neonics from large corporations attempting to convince us that their toxic coated seeds work best and are "bee-friendly." If you have a meadow or area in wild flowers, grasses, clovers etc, if possible, mow in rotation, leaving 2/3 to 3/4 of grasses and blooms for bees and native pollinators. This keeps a constant food source available for pollen and nectar from spring through fall. Annallys 919 933-9109 annallys AT hotmail.com Four years after the bees are gone, humanity is gone.
