[ATFE2] OT: Cure For Honey Bee Colony Collapse?

Great news this is and thanks for passing it along. :-)

Since we moved to Henry County, Tennessee in July 2007, I have noticed how
lucky we are in that there has been no shortage of bees here .. but they are
wild bees. Our apple, peach and pear trees have about completed their
blooming cycle but our cherry trees are in full bloom now and bees are
swarming them .. same thing happened last year. All throughout last year's
gardening season bees were plentiful in our garden and on our flowers.
There has been a good bit of research conducted by various groups in the
Land Between the Lakes Recreation Area .. not far from us .. and the
feedback I have received is that the honeybee problems just didn't make it
to this part of Tennessee. :-)

Y'all have a good one .. and keep smiling. :-)
