Re: The climate, droughts and high temps kill the world's bees

I think it's Oilseed Rape, doing it. It give them hay fever like it does some humans and their respiratory systems can't handle it, they're only little!
It's flippin' everywhere and the poor little bees have lost their wild flower pollen sources.
No one will admit it though as it's big business!

I presume you are talking about Canola, if that is true why are our bees not affected? We grow millions of tonnes of the stuff.

I think the giant chemical firms are trying to find other sources to blame.
