Music to Bee By
"For the bee, honey is the ultimate reality. It represents the fulfillment of her life mission, the triumph over her enemies, the continuity of the hive, the justification for working herself to death. Honey is to bees what money in the bank is to people—a measure of prosperity and well-being. But there is nothing abstract or symbolic about honey, as there is about money, which has no intrinsic value. There is more real wealth in a pound of honey, or a load of manure for that matter, than all the currency in the world. We often destroy the world's real wealth to create an illusion of wealth, confusing symbol and substance."—Wm. Longgood, The Queen Must Die

thanks for sharing the article. nothing truly new here really, except maybe how prevalant ipav really is and special nod to the fungicide chlorothalonil. otherwise what we all know and need to help change globally. more hedgerow, less monocrops, organic farming practices etc. now that the obama's have put an organic garden at the white house and started beekeeping, maybe we can all keep hammering away at these other issues with them?! we need to make our consumer chooses in line with what is best for our bees and to help be the change our world needs. thanks for sharing this with us! :)
