Recently watched a documentary on bees. One beekeeper in AZ solved
the CCD problem by changing to only killer bees. He offers to remove
K-bees from homes, then sets them up in their own hive in a remote
spot in the desert where they will have plenty of access to native
flowering desert plants. Yes, he must take precautions, like extra
protective bee clothing, but he reaps maga amts of natural organic
honey, which he sells at the local farmer's mkt.
