Dear Madam/Sir
Very interesting article especially since there appears to be only infrequent material on this subject for the none apiary public.
1. The article did not note if there have been any attempts to add nutritional supplements to the very one sided nutritional diets of the bees.
2 It would be of interest to find out what the various chemical combinations are of the many pesticides used in the various fields.
3. Has any research ben donn on bees that have not been exposed to pestecides. Are they as susceptible ?
4. Again. A greater push to let the general public know what is going on. Not only will this make for awarnes but it may lead to a push to get more funding for research, changes in laws ( after all when food supplies dwindle it will be to late to start – A 5 year span or greater may be needed to stem this problem and its after effects. So why not push for help now)
thank you for giving me this forum to state my thinking. Please excuse the miserable presentation and typing. Please contact me if there is anything I may help with.
