I want to pass on the latest on the bees. An excellent series of articles are making their way around the Internet with another point of view on the Colony Collapse Disorder phenomenon. Sharon Labchuk is an organic beekeeper (and longtime environmental activist) from Canada who has given us all a heads up as to what is really going on with those commercial beekeepers, such as spraying pesticides and forcing them into unnatural sized combs, comparing it to the beef industry. She notes none of the organic beekeepers are reporting losses. Please Lord, not the bees is a great overview of the debate.

I am rather amazed at this bee thing. Somehow I think it must be PResident Bushs fault.
