Why would that bee racist?
I know white folks who used to pollinate corn. ["Tasseling"]
It used to be a big job to do after the tree planting and forest release
seasons, but now...
Mexicans work cheaper and plant the trees, man the brush saws and
pollinate the corn.

That's why the Mexicans are here; give them little soft brushes and they can
walk through the fields pollinating.

Yeah our whole food system depends on the bees . if they die we all starve.

Problems with tracheal mites as well as other diseases can certainly be
seen as symptoms of a weakened constitution, the same sort of holistic
perspective we apply to human illnesses. In fact some observers of
commercial beekeeping practices predicted as early as the 1920s the demise
of honeybees that has occurred in the last 15 years. All bees, including
wild ones, have most definitely been affected by big Ag. with it's
pesticides and the overall degradation of their environment. Its likely
that the phenomenon of swarming has gradually affected wild bee genetics
as well. By the time mites showed up, the bees were already struggling
and thus less able to develop defenses. Of course, conventional
beekeeping as taught at the agricultural extension services virtually
refuses to recognize environmental sources of harm, much less that any of
the methods they promote might be detrimental.
