-Caveat Lector- The problem with the loss of bees is not just the honey but the cross-pollination that they do. They are extremely important in this regard. A few years back, a fungus destroyed almost all of the domestic and wild honeybees in the northern part of the state. Lots of people have been keeping hives since then to return the bee population back to what it was before the outbreak of the fungus which grew in the hives. I have wondered if it was related to chemstrails but being paranoid, I wonder that about everything. 8-) ~Amelia~ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Wingate" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2001 5:49 PM Subject: [CTRL] Cuban State Paper Accuses U.S. of Attacking Bees -Caveat Lector- Cuban State Paper Accuses U.S. of Attacking Bees Updated: Tue, Aug 21 8:55 AM EDT HAVANA (Reuters) - Not content with conventional conflict tactics like sanctions and a 1961 CIA-backed invasion, the United States has resorted to attacking Cuba's bees, according to the ruling Communist Party's weekly newspaper. The state-run newspaper Granma Internacional accused Washington of waging a "biological war against Cuba" that was probably to blame for a disease that has destroyed 16,000 beehives causing $2 million in lost honey output since 1996. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
