A LACK of queens mating, bad weather, parasites and disease have left Scotland's honey bee colonies in their worst state for years, according to the Scottish Beekeepers Association.
Its president, Ian Craig, said there had been significant losses in the Black Isle and Easter Ross. Cold weather has led to eggs not being fertilised, which means they produce more males than worker females.

Cold weather? In the midst of all this alleged global warming?

Come to think of it, where is all this alleged global warming? There seems to be a severe shortage of it in this part of the world.

We have lobbied the beekeepers on this issue. They are aware of the work of Ulrich Warnke speaking tomorrow at the Royal Society and Barrie Trower of Radiation Protection Trust has addressed the BBA, and yet this trash is all they can come up with in response to the worst environmental crisis we've ever faced. In short,they are aware of the EM radiation-CCD connection but shy away from it out of cowardice knowing that the authorities don't want to offend the Telecommunications/military/industrial people. Shame on them!
