There has been a suspected pesticide bee kill affecting 2 bee colonies in the area of Alta Vista between Galisteo St.and St. Francis.When I called to report the issue I was unable to reach anyone probably because it’s a holiday.
Anyone who suspects they have a pesticide kill can report to Steve Baca at the NM Dept. of Ag
Here’s a helpful article:
Beekeepers can register their colonies at Driftwatch to help pesticide applicators manage drift effects (however it is voluntary).

We will be discussing this at the next Zoom meeting
Thanks, Kate
