the die 
          like crazy. We’ve beekeepers full
        of colony cold

in almond groves
   said he was that way
  to 
      ban their impact once:

               since the first 
   survivors weakened

an apiculture pollinates many and with scientists 
last year’s die-off sent 
itself its carriers 
       higher the 
bee
on a steady 
          dose of February

    products hardly there’d from corn to sunflower 
fields of canola

a coalition of our products are applied in smaller doses 
could 
       kill bees 
     and biologic herbicides 
and vegetables

    bee 
      mites 
they react with weedkillers
Experts say 
      many beekeepers 
have
30 years, and with his 
father and brother, represent
the biggest culprit i

“We were 
      so great in our 
         losses.
European colony collapse, disorder, 
roughly 
     tracked
so the proud

than 
       it’s 
ever 
     been.”
