It's not just European bees. Here in the Berkshires, the apple producers are noting severe declines in bee counts and apple harvests.
It sucks even more evolutionarily because getting honey bees to make themselves at home isn't always an easy task, and a hive that chooses whatever readily-available structure is present would have produced offspring that were better suited to living in a world inhabited by humans. And honey bees are very peaceful and docile insects that are unlikely to take interest in humans unless actually disturbed.
That's a damn shame. Another ignorant fool who doesn't care to identify the insect before killing it.
I noticed someone thought the bees would come after cyan. at nite if he took the cover off.
I keep BEES for honey.
They are tame and docile if you know how to handle them. I have taken the top off a hive left abandoned in woods for 5 years with bare hands and no bee keeping equipment. I would not advise anyone to do it however. They did get grouchy and climbed up both arms covering both. Got stung 2 times on arms, should've smoked em a little and they wouldn't have stung 2 times.
It was very RARE the bees came to grill, probably a lost swarm from local beekeeper's hive. It was a very poor choice of cover and insulation.
HOW TO HANDLE BEES: Call professional. If DIY type, puff a couple of puffs of smoke on them. They think hive on fire, and ignore you and fill up on honey. At night they are easily handled, put on truck etc. I would have slipped quietly to the cover of grill at 2 am and slid it off and ran around house quickly. They would be gone in 2 hours after dawn leaving comb behind.
This hive would have frozen to death in the winter anyway with no insulation from cover to protect them if in cold area.:(
...This guy doesn't grill enough.
Has anyone addressed the question why the bee population is decreasing?
I doubt its due to people killing bees like this. So I wouldnt call them direct contributors to the honey bees potential extinction. you people defending bees probably have ant traps set up all over the place, and they are decomposers and help and bla bla blaaaaaaa boooring.
I'm cool with bees pollinating etc but when they or anyone/thing comes near my face or ears they're asking for trouble.
Why contribute to a problem on any level???Quote:

If they can't find food and water they just lose interest.Quote:
