Re: Silent Spring After All?

Bees and other pollinators are declining.

When I first heard about this problem, I thought it was a problem faced mainly by professional beekeepers: a collapse in "domesticated" honeybee populations (an introduced invasive species) caused by an epidemic of mites (another invasive species native to Asia).  But apparently the problem is more widespread, affecting several different species. 

This could seriously affect US agriculture.

Re: Silent Spring After All?

It might be just because a lot of folks aren't into beekeeping anymore.
