This week, the migratory honey bees are descending on South Jersey’s extensive blueberry farms and cranberry bogs. The bees are stacked on tractor-trailer beds, like any other cargo, strapped down and covered with a net. During transportation, the bees cling to their hives, bunched up and stuck together. Some fly off, some die on the trip. The bottom of the trailer bed is littered with their remains. But most — millions and millions of them — survive, healthy and ready for important work.
