Year around farmer Eliot Coleman explains the radical idea behind organic agriculture.
Quote: The radical idea behind organic agriculture is a change in focus. The new focus is on the quality of the crops grown and their suitability for human nutrition. That is a change from the more common focus on growing as much quantity as possible and using whatever chemical techniques contribute to increasing that quantity.

Even as U.S. honeybee populations have been hit hard by colony collapse disorder in recent years, domesticated beehives have been thriving elsewhere.

Vermont has a relatively modest honey industry. About 1,700 registered beekeepers care for more than 10,000 hives. In 2008, according to a study by Parise, they produced three-quarters of a million pounds of honey valued at just under $1 million. The revenue comprises only a small sliver of Vermont's agriculture business, but the bees' value extends beyond the honey they produce, according to Bill Mares, president of the Vermont Beekeepers Association. The state's fruit and vegetable crops, Mares said, rely heavily on the presence of the tiny pollinators.

Upcoming laboratory and field tests, coupled with a survey of beekeepers this spring, may help provide the key to scientists' search for the cause of widespread die-offs among honeybee colonies in the United States. The problem, says one expert in the field, may be a combination of pesticides and pathogens.

The economic crisis has contributed to a glut of bees in California. That raises questions about whether a supposed global pollination crisis is real.

Author: SavethehivesIt’s been almost a year since I began my CCD Mapping website, which has yet to launch… Nice to get motivated by another fantastic mapping project, the Feral Bee Project, “a site focused on creating a national database of feral honey bee populations.”

Susan Milius: In tests, bee flight-path distractions took such a toll on dining that caterpillars ate only about a third of the leaf area they consume in a bee-free zone . .
