I am a practitioner of Bee Venom Therapy and have stung myself and
others for about a year now with honeybees. Lately, news regarding the
decline of the feral bee population has disturbed the organic farmer
and prospective beekeeper in me. Recently, on the BEE-L Listserve that
discusses Bee Biology, was a discussion about research in Belgium and
Britain that focused on indoor pollination by bumblebees and was being
garded as a trade secret. Can anyone shed some light on this subject
or point me in the right direction? I am new to this newsgroup and
offer to compile info I find and post it here ASAP.
Thanks,
