Even if it is a fungus that’s killing off the bees, we won’t be seeing an immediate turn-around in the declining bee population. And the bees remain in the news. Links are at the bottom.

More people are speculating about the loss of the bees, including Mark Morford in an article that’s appealingly titled “Apocalypse Of The Honeybees”… how could I resist such a thing?

Honeybees have died back before, and the unusual thing about this time may simply be that we’re better connected to one another now so we can tell when it’s happening globally.

And British beekeepers are trying to avert the bee doomsday by fostering inner-city bees.

Perhaps the bees are all busy swarming people at fundraisers in Ligonier, Indiana - I’d say attack, but no one was stung when 3000 bees decided they liked the umbrella shading at a fundraising walk for the American Cancer Society. Or maybe they were saying: “Hey! We support you too!”.
