There is strong evidence that neonicotinoids – a class of pesticide first used in agriculture in the mid 1990s at exactly the time when mass bee disappearances started occurring – are involved in the deaths. The evidence against these chemicals is strong enough that they have been banned or suspended in France, Germany, Italy and Slovenia [...] Hey all- a quick ‘peek’ over the weekend. I checked on the super over the weekend- not much build-out going on up there yet. I have the queen excluder on there and we’ll see how that goes over the next few weeks.

The landing board had a nice layer of snow on there and I was pleasantly surprised that the bees had shoveled their walk! Here is a close up. I saw some girls [...] Hello folks!
