The entire beeswax supply is contaminated with Fluvalinate (Apistan) and Cumaphos (Check mite) both of which are lipophilic (love fat or wax) and build up in the wax supply, which is then used to make foundation.

We keep adding the poisons and they keep building up.

Some non-beekeeper friends reported seeing the story on the local TV news and didn't understand it very well.

Michael Bush:
Someone on another board suggested it might be that they are trying to kill the mosquitoes because of West Nile and maybe the bees are drinking from water that is being poisoned to kill the mosquitoes.

nepenthes:
