fun bee fact

Kevin, in his hours [upon hours!] of bee newsgroup reading, ascertained that the bees that languish on the ground in front of the hive is not, er, normal.

It means we have a mite problem.

Like bee fleas. Too many bee fleas.

But the mite treatment, way more fun that squirting on Frontline--

Treatment: dust the bees with powdered sugar!

Break out the jingle bells, because it's gonna be a white September Christmas in the bee hive.
