I have been reading about how there is a shortage/population issue with bees this winter/spring. I know one local fellow at the lumber yard is starting to keep bees. None of his 6-8 hives survived over the winter. I know they have had a mite issue for some years and now there seems to be something else effecting the bees.

Here in North-East Iowa they say that the extremely cold February really took its toll on the hives. I have read that the loss is in the 40-60% range.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
