The Bee and the Almond: Crop Pollination May Kill Colonies - Michael Pollan

[berenisse1000]

Now bees are also exploited by men.... just stop using pesticides and bees are going to do fine..

[BotanyVideo]

Numerous scientific papers show that native bees do a great job of pollinating all our fruit crops. It is important to have habitat diversity because native bees need nesting habitat that is not plowed. Some native bees also need floral resources for more than just the blooming time of one crop plant, because no one is going to drive them to Louisiana for the tupelo bloom. This is why having diverse habitat and diverse farms will prevent the extinction of native bees.

Some of the most diverse bee habitat is within urban areas. Encourage/allow small scale hobby beekeeping within those areas. The politicians or the big commercial beekeepers aren't going be the saviors of bees. Do your part and start a sustainable backyard hive for less than $200.00.

Calif. native bees are 100 times better at pollinating fruit trees and they are not susceptible to those diseases that afflict honey bees. So, I agree about putting aside areas with native bee plants to keep the native bees around all year. Why pay for imported honey bees when you can have native bees for free?

[javalily]

Sure,give the bee HFCS, the mercury is good for them!

[winkyshy2]

Bees? Well if I cant smoke em, snort em, or have sex with em, then I could care less. Why? cuz I'm an american. uh huh ya, one of the smart people on the planet.

[veggiesoup]

Luckily for the rest of us you aren't trying to have sex with bees. I hope you don't eat food either because there may not be food if the bees die off.

Anyone bother to study the effects of Chemtrails on bees????

[romo502]

that's my guess too

[Saktoth]

Chemtrails like what comes out the back of jetliners?

No. Those are just contrails. Condensation. Water.

Chemtrails like pesticide spraying?

Absolutely!

[javalily]

No,like Chemtrails as in weather modification & biological testing.Google NAIWMC. I'm sure the aluminum and barium being sprayed on us daily isn't too good for the insects and plant life either.

[Saktoth]

Rainmaking? That uses primarily dry ice (carbon dioxide) and Silver iodide. I dont know where you got the aluminium and barium thing.

There has been cloud seeding and weather modification around the Snowy River (Australia) since the 1960's and the silver iodide levels there are not even above background levels. Australia has not been heavily effected by the honey bee die-off, the way the US has, least of all around the snowy river.

[javalily]

It's not just about cloud seeding. There is tons of info on it. Google Dr. Hildagard who's is studying the connection between chemtrails and Morgellons disease. High levels of aluminum and barium have been found in tested samples,along with other things we should not be absorbing or breathing in. look into Nano tech and the chemtrail connection. And biological testing is nothing new,you can even find videos about it on here. Kill the bees,you kill our food supply,what else needs to be explained?

[StopMKold]

@Saktoth Silver iodide is harmful to unicellular organisms, and over time could have other adverse effects on the biosphere. it is not water soluble so iimagine the levels will build up in water bodies over time. Barium and alluminum salts are being used as well.

[Saktoth]

@StopMKold

They've been using it for years in Australia, and when they did tests to find what effects the concerntrations in the soil had on the soil, they had to cancel the tests because they couldnt -find- any silver iodide in the soil.

They use really miniscule amounts.

I dont know about Barium and Aluminium, in all the sources i've read they never mention using these for cloud seeding. Do you have a source for that?

[Saktoth]

If you are getting your information from, say, the 'educate yourself' site, which is a major source of this info, Id seriously suggest reading it with a more critical eye.

Funniest quote: 'Math seems to be the key, but the non-linear kind. What and Who? No one is talking. That alone means it is not something from their darkened halls from hell or the intelligence agencies would have seen it coming (they can easily see the future, though it requires a ritual sacrifice of one of their own.'

[javalily]

I'm getting my info from a variety of sites.NAIWMC is not an "educate yourself" site,it's the North American Interstate Weather Modification Council.

[Saktoth]

NAIWMC describes the well established process of using dry ice and silver iodide to seed clouds, it doesnt mention Barium or Aluminium and those elements are not used in cloud seeding.

Who is trying to kill our food supply? For what reason? Arent there more effecient methods to end civilization...

There are plenty of things to get outraged about, real chemical dumping into the enviroment, real government and corporate abuses, you dont need to make stuff up to get angry about.

[javalily]

I wasn't claiming NAIWMC was doing it. I was simply stating that weather modification,and the many different experiments ,including weather mod and biological testing could have affected the bees. And who said I wasn't concerned with those things too? Whose making anything up? Just because you haen't heard about something,doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Do your research.

nuke the bees

this is interesting....lol im the first viewer....YES!!
