Doug, For a look at what is involved in commercial beekeeping, I highly
recommend the immensely entertaining and enlightening book Following
the Bloom by Douglas Whynott. Backyard beekeeping bears
little similarity to migratory, commercial beekeeping, just as
backyard gardening is completely foreign to production
agriculture. The article <here>
and the academic papers linked within it provide a completely
different perspective on the "bees are dying" popular-media hype.
If you genuinely want to know why the popular media always reports
so-called "losses" (and what is really meant by that term)
and never report annual inventory levels, take a look at
the article. But please don't read it if you don't really want to
know. On 2/19/2017 8:50 AM, Doug Edmunds
