Hi Kevin,

I was digging around my old emails and stumbled across yours again from 2011.

In case you'd like to see what we're up to over here with Asian Honeybees that are immune to the harmful effects of varroa mite and seem to not be suffering from CCD, take a look at this: https://www.facebook.com/BeeKKUrbanBeekeeping

Best,
Bryan

It's a great reason for hope that wild honeybees are more resistant
against colony collapse disorders.  Are these simply European
honeybees that went feral?

Africanized bees are also more resilient, I think.

Maybe CCD won't be the total catastrophe it seems like, then.

I saw a bee for the fiirst time this year on my place today, buzzing
around my okra blossoms.  I notice bumblebees are all over anything
with purple flowers at the botanical gardens.  It's funny to watch one
of those little bastards trying to take off with pollen packed onto
every spare patch of all six legs -- it's like a helicopter with too
many people on it.
