Re: The Baffling Disappearance of The Bees.



Is beekeeping becoming a lost art? I read somewhere that the average
age of a beekeeper is over sixty years old.

Another source of concern is the practice of moving beehives on a
flatbed truck to pollinate crops. Some beekeepers criss-cross the USA
doing this.

BTW, I discovered a wonderful website this evening.

Ron Miksha authored an unusual memoir titled _Bad Beekeeping_. A
generous quantity of sample chapters are available online.
