It's easy Maren. Just look below the hive. If you see a lot of dead
bees-- like a pile-- just call the Hawaii Dept of Agriculture. If
there are no bees, then we really need to worry. There's something
call CCD, or Colony Collapse Disorder, that was seen in our country
first in Florida. It's not supposed to have arrived here yet. I've
seen a PBS movie that showed research that it is caused by an AIDS
like bee virus that kills the bee's immune system. But lately, I've
received email that some researchers suspect certain pesticides that
are being misused.
