Re: Fungus may be part of bee epidemic

[Guest guest]

That fungus sure hasn't touched the hornets, yellow jackets and

bumble bees around my house! I feel like I am walking through a bee

war zone every time I walk out side! I wish that fungus would get

some of them and not the honey bees!!!!

After being stung by a hornet, I wish to get rid of some of those

critters! That thing hurt like the dickens!

WAKE UP. LOSEING HONEY BEES IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM TO OUR ENVIRONMENT

AND IT EFFECTS EVERYTHING.
