in the Gulf of Mexico, and the recent volcanic eruption in
Iceland have all harmed commerce too. Some new discoveries add
an even more grim reality to the picture emerging in all of
this. We posted some disturbing information about the value of
bees a while back, I mean their value in keeping the human

after news that a third of US bee col
