[Pollinator] Virginia bee kill

[Matthew Shepherd]

Hi folks,

Sadly, it seems that bee kills due to linden trees is almost a Pollinator
Week tradition. After the terrible incident in Wilsonville a few years ago
there have been a few small incidents. This year a significant kill has
been reported in Virginia. Thanks to the concern and efforts of local
people, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Protection are
investigating.
