Susan Jacobson of the Orlando Sentinel reports that Florida has a bee explosion going on.
"The state is now home to over 400,000 colonies, a 145% increase over the past 8 years.
Jamie Ellis, a UF professor of entomology explains Florida beekeepers have resorted to more careful bee management based on science, not blame on other environmental or human factors.
Florida produced 14.7 million pounds of honey in 2014 worth over 30 million dollars, making it the 4th. largest honey producer in the nation.

Are we beeing bad? Why don't we just replace "the self-proclaimed Islamic state" members with bees? One honey bee for one terrorist . . . Sounds good to me.

Certain states are pro-active while others aren't. Australia started saving my friends years ago. I love OZ! But, you already knew that. I'll go into the site to check out the bee-friendly states. I love beeing the honeybee newscaster!

I am she! So, here's the news: As of Sept. 28, the most bee-friendly cities in the U.S, are Asheville, NC, Bismark, ND, Apalachicola, FL, Talent, OR, Clarkson, KY, and Seattle, WA. Initially I was surprised to see some cold weather cities on the list, but then I realised that my little friends take a nap during the Winter months.

Last month the courts ordered DOW to remove one of its insecticides from the market because it was not bee-friendly. And I didn't miss your last line, Bee-Girl. Regarding hymenoptera, I don't mess with wasps because they sting you, even unprovoked. I refer to bees as my little friends because they don't do that. They crawl onto my finger; I would never allow a wasp to do that!
