150 mite drop a day and they are not treating. Bet they dont tell the news media when this one crashes
Wow! I'm shocked they're publicizing mite counts! Even as a beek, I think the country has more pressing issues right now than the state of the White House bees. :roll:
These bee's are just a publicity stunt because from what i heard obama wanted to cut funding for CCD research. Just rounding up voters for round 2. Just like Clinton in hunting gear supposedly goose hunting
i don't mind him cutting the funding. wish he'd cut a whole bunch of other funding/spending also.
where did you see the info on the mite counts? i have not heard about the WH bees in a long time!
I think we should start with cutting White House funding and work from there.
Maybe this was planned, like the economic failures of the economy...after the hive dies, it will be used as a prop for a junk science "global warming" speech...first the Polar Bears, now the Bees!

BeeCulture magazine November issue
I did read this in the Nov Gleaning. It was in winding down at the white house. I reread last night and had the number wrong. It was 116 - 139 daily count
Parasites? In Washington?
Only to be expected. :)
The bees obviously need health care reform... they can not afford basic health care.
