There has been a lot of buzz online and in agricultural circles about a massive die-off or disappearance of honeybees, where bees swarmed and failed to return to their hives. All Things Maine highlights an article in this week's Maine Sunday Telegram about the high costs of honeybees for Maine blueberry growers. All Things Maine pointed to several informative links to information on the U Maine Cooperative Extension Service about bees and creating a bee-friendly yard.
