My wife hated late May or early June warm and humid days especially weekends if we had plans to go some place, that would be the time the bees would swarm and she would go by herself while I stayed home climbing a tree or what ever to capture a swarm.

I Just returned from a bee keepers farm

he told me that the scientists are zero- ing in on the cause
of colony collapse disorder CCD

and it's from the chemical people are using on their lawns to
kill the lawn grubs

apparently it collects in the pollen which the bees also collect
as their bread....

and in the fall it concentrates in the pollen and then makes them loose
there navigation abilities.
