Just read article about mites killing bees.

Article also claims that if bees are around a flower called
Feverfew, that something from this flower kills the mites that
are killing the bees. 

Would like to hear from alternative sources if this is true.
and if anyone has a photo of this mite, would like to see it.

Last year in some weeds, I found something that killed a honey
bee, It was yellow with red markings; shaped somewhat like a 
stink bug only shorter.

If it is true, then I think we all should plant a few Feverfew.
to help them out.

Its easier the have the bees do the garden pollination than
doing manually
