I'd be more interested in learning what's happening to the Queens. Meanwhile, back at the hive, I wonder how important the loss of drones is in the grand scheme of things.

They are certainly not hard to find... EPA has omitted 41 power plants that are either in or directly adjacent to nonattaining metro areas. The biggest polluters that were left out are the J.M. Stuart coal-fired power plant in Adams County, Ohio, which is adjacent to the Cincinnati metropolitan area. In 2002, this plant discharged over 117,000 tons of SO2 and over 46,000 tons of oxides of nitrogen. The Homer City coal-fired power plant in Indiana County, Pennsylvania and adjacent to the Pittsburg metropolitan area was also left out. In 2002, this plant discharged over 105,000 tons of SO2 and over 25,000 tons of NOx. Sure heres one specific, relating to looser emissions standards for coal fired plants.

I'd modify that question just a bit, to ask if the African strain of bees are carriers of this new problem, having built up an immunity to it.

“Soylent Green is people”.

And Girl Scout cookies are made with real Girl Scouts?

Sorry, Anji, but like Demmons, I'm calling 'nonsense'..

Human beings have placed huge strains on pretty much every ecosystem in the world, and the Bush admins policy towards destruction of the environment has been pretty much "the faster, the better". Word to the wise... "Soylent Green is people". Alex you sound like a pretty rational guy... how the hell did you get a job here? This is upsetting news, but hardly unexpected.
