Bee Colony Collapse mystery solved?

[freedombecki]

Don't tell me that insecticides caused the decline in the Honey bee population because that is just bull shit from typical anti-American environ-junkies. I had several bee hives and in my area there were no insecticides used. Everyone in the industry knows that a form or mites that invade the bee esophagus caused the decline of the honey bee population. A strip of insecticide inside the hive prevented the mite infestation but I didn't want to use it and stopped raising bees.

Bees alive and well around my rosemary bush that is presently in full bloom in the Pineywoods. They were loading up on fragrant pollen and nectar on Monday.
