Not for Permies, but for the public at large it may require this sort of substantial, direct benefit to humans to compel humans to save the bees.

Interesting article - thanks for posting it.

That is very interesting. Thanks! It's amazing what bees are capable of.

On a related note, we're getting ready to release an apitherapy video course with Ross Conrad over at http://organiclifeguru.com

Very thought provoking. It reinforces my belief that our bees know us when we work with them. We don't use smoke.
