Bees Are Dying of Appian AIDS,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
STATE COLLEGE,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Pa. (AP) - A mysterious illness is killing tens of thousands of honeybee colonies across the country,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], threatening honey production,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the livelihood of beekeepers and possibly crops that need bees for pollination.
Researchers are scrambling to find the cause of the ailment, called Colony Collapse Disorder.
Reports of unusual colony deaths have come from at least 22 states. Some affected commercial beekeepers - who often keep thousands of colonies - have reported losing more than 50 percent of their bees,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
From the article: - Although the bodies of dead bees often are littered around a hive, sometimes carried out of the hive by worker bees,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], no bee remains are typically found around colonies struck by the mystery ailment. Scientists assume these bees have flown away from the hive before dying.
- From the outside, a stricken colony may appear normal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with bees leaving and entering. But when beekeepers look inside the hive box,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they find few mature bees taking care of the younger, developing bees.
- Normally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a weakened bee colony would be immediately overrun by bees from other colonies or by pests going after the hive's honey. That's not the case with the stricken colonies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which might not be touched for at least two weeks, said Diana Cox-Foster, a Penn State entomology professor investigating the problem.
"That is a real abnormality," Hackenberg said.
Cox-Foster said an analysis of dissected bees turned up an alarmingly high number of foreign fungi, bacteria and other organisms and weakened immune systems.
I know a little bit about bees, being a beekeeper. I know that in nature,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bee hives are not close to each other. Like any animal that stakes out territory,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bees like to keep themselves away from each other,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], preferably at least 100 yards apart. In nature, they tend to build their colonies in caves,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rotted tree trunks, thick brush piles and inside human habitations or constructions. Usually, outside of the queen mating with various drones, honey bees avoid strangers. They have various ways of recognizing each other so workers from different hives don't accidentally do business with each other.
Add to this genetic weakness caused by inbreeding is the new fact that beekeepers who cart their bees all over the country make more money than stay-at-home beekeepers! So orchard growers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], instead of raising their own bees and caring for them and insuring there are flowers throughout the agricultural cycles, hire these outsider bees and have them moved all over the place and these bees then interact with native bees and spread diseases as well as stressing out the locals who are upset with this sudden flood of competition!
