Its oft quoted that about 1/3rd of our food supply depends on crop
pollination by bees - so it could be trouble!

I believe it is a world wide phenomenon. Pesticides. No bees - no
pollination of many species. Could we be in trouble?

Subject: OT - No Bees
I have a tradition of taking a macro shot of honey bees in crocus
flowers, usually in March or early April. It's spring training for a new
bug photography season...
The crocuses in my yard are almost gone - and I have yet to see a single
Apis Mellifera. Bee populations are being decimated due to a several
causes - but it may be that this harsh winter was the final blow for the
locals. It's a troubling development.
