Quoting Mark C <[email protected]>:
I have a tradition of taking a macro shot of honey bees in crocus
flowers, usually in March or early April. It's spring training for a
new bug photography season...
The crocuses in my yard are almost gone - and I have yet to see a
single Apis Mellifera. Bee populations are being decimated due to a
several causes - but it may be that this harsh winter was the final
blow for the locals. It's a troubling development.
It's a problem here as well. According to a news item just a couple of
days ago, local honey supplies have been badly affected with many
bee-keepers making no income over the past couple of years. I've
certainly noticed a decline in bee numbers in my own little patch.
