Subject: [permaculture] "ORGANICS" WAS A Look at CCD
Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2007 06:08:21 -0400
It is often said that natural raised hives, especially hives that are
not transported for commercial pollination, are essentially exempt
from CCD. (They, of course, still have problems with varroa, and what
not. but they are not having the sudden die-off, leaving hives that
are uninhabitable by wax and honey scavengers.
Anyone have any insight into this?
I'm asking: is this a plight of industrial beekeeping or is it
affecting bees across the board?
