"No reports of any injuries" ... so I suppose the dead colonies don't count :(

Releasing "hundreds" of insects … seems overkill to use a truck to transport a mini-nuc ;)

Quite, o sharp-toothed one; maybe the reporter couldn't count ... or didn't dare get close enough to do so ;D

I wondered who'd be the first to mention that, Droney!

And the next person who stumbles across this thread will mention/blame ....

A predictable consequence of migratory beekeeping. If it's any consolation, 1/2 of the colonies involved would probably have died of CCD in any case the way they are treated in the 'States!

I blame the pesticides for affecting the drivers sense of direction after exposure to sub lethal doses over a prolonged period time from all the HFCS in everything over there :D

Happy now? ;)
