While our entomologist are trying to find out what is going on I suggest some precautionary measures in case the bee demise is being caused by disease. One is my joint effort with the great 3M Company to design a tiny bee mask using their industrial mask technology combined with their little-sticky-note technology. My ingenious bee mask dispenser.
