| We at the NW Pennsylvania Bee Keepers Association are working away from chemicals and breeding from those queens and colonies which survive the chemical developments. Rather than treat them, making a weaker bee. There are many apiaries, which are showing success with NO treatments at all. I hope more back yard bee keepers will shift to resistent bees, rather than rely on chemical treatments. Permaculture is a good start, be as organic as you possibly can. Thanks for this channel.

| (GOOGLE) airborne depleted uranium molecules. XILLIONS of them with the Sahara winds (Iraq) and from many places like Tracy, CA. Sticky Bees catch them much faster than we do and die by disorientation. One molecule inhaled is lethal for humans. - If Iran will be attacked with this stuff huamanity has 3 generations left. - Apperently Generals have no Children and presidents no soul. |

| The bees are dying off because we abuse the earth. It is all those people who think they have to use pesticides in their gardens and farms. If it doesn't kill the bees, it disorients them. It is so sad, it is going to be the end of life as we know it. |

| I use to spray the yard with a mix of year long kill off sprays on the bare ground. The trees & garden remain sprayless. Next year I'll use a much more effective method of keeping aggressive weeds down: A shovel, elbow grease and replacing those spaces with NATIVE so. calif flowers and herbs. I hope to bring the bees to our yard again. I'm sorry, Bees for using sprays. No more, ok? |

| I've been keeping bees for six years. I have more bees per hive this year '08 than I have ever had. This has been a really good year so far. Humans once had the plague to deal with, maybe the bees had a bee plague. And I never let my bees talk on a cell phone. |
