Morris at the Warrenton office of the Virginia Department of Agriculture, Maroechi says. The two met on August 24 to discuss test results of the bee samples. Maroechi says the bees had died of methyl parathion poisoning. The worker bees had apparently carried dried particles of tin* poison back to the hive "thinking” they were pollen. These grains of "pollen" were then fed to young bees.
Maroechi says he refused to extract any honey from the ten hives this summer because bees sometimes store pollen in the upper story of the beehive and he feared risking exposure to methyl parathion. He estimated his losses in the neighborhood of $1,000. but says he hopes his costly lesson will help others become more aware of the necessary rapport between beekeepers and orchardists.
