Colony Collapse Disorder Update
I have added a new article in the Bee's & Beekeeping section, under 'Colony Collapse'.
Please take a moment to read up on this phenomenon as it is effecting global supplies of honey.
Please also take note of the price changes of many of my honey products due to the shortages of honey caused by colony collapse disorder. If you have any queries regarding this phenomenon and its effects here in South Africa, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Parasitic mites [such as this Varroa mite visible on this bee], pesticides,
poor nutrition, stress & the IAPV virus are all thought to be contributing
factors in Colony Collpase Disorder.
