Bee blight

Article Abstract:

The decimation of the honeybee population due to mite infestation may have serious economic repercussions for the US fruit industry. Research into the control of mite infestation includes breeding 'mite-free' bees. Also, the search for honeybee alternates is being considered to minimize the effect of decreasing honeybee population.
