Default Honey and mead-- not all that far off topic for some of us

But it makes sense that if it was hitting areas that far apart, the
rest of the planet would start seeing it too.

I have a secret theory that it is not chemicals of any variety, but RF
and microwave saturation. The last report I read said that the bees
were not dying in the hive, they were leaving as usual and not coming
back. Basically they were getting lost on the way home. Since nobody
has actually ever figured out for sure how bees find their way home,
interference from cell phone towers and other sources is as good a
guess as any.

Hmm, could be high power electrical fields or something messing with
the bees sense of direction too. Or maybe it's the same thing that
leads healthy whales to stray up rivers and onto beaches. I just hope
the scientists figure it out and find a solution before it's too late.

Wired had an article on this - their speculation involved a newly
available chemical which messed up the bees' direction sense - leave the
hive and can't find it again.
We have some bees around here - they like the thyme, lavender, mexican
sage, and privet in our landscaping.
