The second story is about honeybees, which have endured their own mysterious epidemic this past year. Colony Collapse Disorder was first identified in 2006" (Thanks Leila).

Excellent and timely article from the NYT. Read to see what the intensification of food systems and their total control by the food and farm industry is leading to. In the US, country of control, standards and quality.

All the more reason to eat little or no meat, and that only if it's sustainably farmed at local, family-owned ranches.

I'm happy to say I can even eat local honey - there's a fellow in my neighborhood who keeps bees and sells the product at the local market. His very bees hover on my rosemary bushes late into autumn.
