Date: January 07, 2012 05:36PM I am particularily fond of bees, and this was chilling to read.
But Prism's remark cheered me up! Thanks for posting, coco. Re: News about what's killing off the bees.

Date: February 19, 2012 04:35PM There are over 4000 species of bees native to North America. The domestic honey bee is native to Europe. But since all natural habitat is plowed under and poisoned there are no native bees left to pollinate the crops, hence the need for the European honey bee.
Native bees of North America: [bugguide.net] 400 species at Pinnacles National Monument alone: [www.nps.gov] providing habitat for native bees: [www.xerces.org] Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
