<p></p><div dir="ltr">This afternoon Dr Peter Wyse Jackson, Director of the Missouri Botanical Garden, asked a most important question I could not answer. What is known about the health of feral, naturalize Apis mellifera vs. industrial hives or even home hives? Do these feral colonies suffer from the same level of Colony Collapse Disorder and Varroa? If you have pertinent literature on this topic please forward it to Dr Wyse Jackson.<div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div>Peter Bernhardt, Prof. of Biology</div><div>Saint Louis University</div></div>
