Eggs and Larva
Gigapan images allow for amazing clarity when zooming in - Check out the frame with eggs and larva in this image from the folks at Bee Informed Partnership.
I saw a headline that was linking Chemtrails and bee colony collapse. Any info or opinions? Are planes really spraying stuff at altitude or is it just conspiracy theorists worrying about contrails?
No connection to CCD. Mite vectored virus plus Nosema, with a possible pesticide trigger seems the most likely explaination. Interesting environmental connection is the California fog belt. Hives located in foggy areas had higher incident of disease.
