      Virus in Bee Mystery

      The news that a virus has been identified as the culprit in the Colony Collapse Disorder in beekeeping is encouraging news.

      The correlation between introduction of bees from Australia into North America in 2004 and the appearance of the disorder that has killed between 20% and 90% of the bees over the past three years is strong, and may provide a means of control, if not ea gralimination of the plague.

      I kept bees for about five years, with several colonies outside the screened in patio where we take all of our meals in the summer – literally two feet away from us most of the time.

      Beekeeping is a high tech antidote if there ever was one – and although there is probably no creature that has been more intensely studied by mankind for the past five or ten thousand years, the day to day observation and curiousity about their lives continues to reward.

      The one benefit from the recent publicity might be that the public at large is at least aware of the importance of bees to our lives, and a graphic reminder of how inter-dependent we all are.
