Scientists discover another cause of bee deaths

[Hiltonizer]

So what is with all the dying bees? Scientists have been trying to discover this for years. Meanwhile, bees keep dropping like… well, you know.

Is it mites? Pesticides? Cell phone towers? What is really at the root? Turns out the real issue really scary, because it is more complex and pervasive than thought.

Scientists discover another cause of bee deaths, and it?s really bad news. | FoodStorageCooking.com

What do you expect when you pump chemicals into the environment to control it?


Nature will self regulate without help from humans

Decided to netflix up a documentary on the matter... I'd had read about it in passing but never realized how dire it really is. 1/3rd of colonies dying every year the last few years... basically our food supply is being patched together by bee farmers raking it in by whoring out their hives... and those are getting killed at a 90% rate annually.

EDIT: JFC... California's agriculture is essentially held up by bee imports from Australia.

How did we manage to eat before they sprayed these new poisons everywhere? They could just stop doing it.

Of course, this is Monsanto.... They don't think like that. They are probably busy somewhere engineering farming to not require bees. If successful, it could mean an end to naturally occurring plants since we would have no bees left in the wild. That would be bad.

Not everyone would eat. Without the added chemicals/ hybrids yields would drop and the price of food would increase dramatically. Those on the lower end of the economic spectrum would starve.

no, they'll just get bigger EBT allowances, I'd starve though, taxes are already getting pretty crazy.

Nonsense. They'd just raise taxes and give out even more EBT.


ETA: Bested by Boris. Damnit.

With the exception of those on EBT of course, the rest of us would starve and the fricken dumb ass lazy no good SOB's crayola color people with their hands out would be the majority, just as planned so the protected can have their puppets.

Better fix the BEE problem before it's to late, unfortunately we get stung either way ~

My dad noticed the garden was doing pretty crappy this year. We were talking and I brought up, maybe he should start a hive to help pollinate and we could get a bit of honey out of it.

I wonder how they would survive in our region. I know around my area there is no big time farms or major pesticides.

without bees the yields are dropping anyways and thanks to that they have to import bees which costs money thus driving up prices.

I've been finding dead bees around this summer, just kinda laying on the ground in some places. I only use pesticides on my squash plants and I've found them dead before I started using them. Not sure what is killing them here but they are dying.

I got my bees from Bee Pride in Lebanon ME. Good people. They teach a beginners course each spring.

And at the rate we are going with unsustainable agriculture, soon no one is going to be able to eat.

I'd prefer to try to fix it now.

How would you fix it without a large die off?

He's saying a large die off is going to happen either way.

The science community has been a'buzz with these findings. Theres got to bee a solution. I hive a couple ideas but honey, this is beyond me. Theres a lot more research to comb through so until then, the truth stings...
