Honey Bee colony collapse disorder (CCD)

The Bucks Herald

The importance of honeybees

It is reputed that Einstein wrote that 'If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man'.

It is a fact that honeybees are the only insects that produce food for humans.

So a lot has been written recently about the plight of the honey bee.

Most people do now understand about the multiple crises facing the bee population that continue to empty the hives: foulbrood; varroa mites; viral diseases; dysfunctional immune systems and now the mysterious but globally devastating colony collapse disorder (CCD).

Most people also understand that the true value of the honey bee lies not so much in the sticky stuff that gives our favourite insect its name but in

As a child i remember honey bees were so abundant around clover flowers.Now i rarely see them at all,.. :( Thanks for posting this video,..Its very important for people to know.

Why are the bees dying? Clothianidin from Bayer.

We used to have so many in the grass after the clover blossoms, that one would have to watch closely where one walked. Within a short few years, hardly a honeybee can be found. On my property, larger bumble type bees, and small bees are growing in numbers to fill in those gaps. This is a little encouragement, but hopefully it isn't too little too late..too few to fill in for those lost.

Pollution is changing the electromagnetic environment that the Sun creates. The Bees cannot adapt to it.  I have a number of videos on my channel that show these effects.

@akirafactor My brother found a few articles, a couple of which he showed to me (one was from Yahoo), and it suggested a parasitic fly might be responsible?

Bees are cool,not like wasps or hornets =.=''

The less of them,the more bees would have more flowers ^^

Very cool video, honey bees make the world go round.

Illuminati ? They must know of the bee's extreme importance to the survival of man. Just a thought, not a theory.

My grandpap says - It wouldn't be the end of the world, but a better world. He says kooks like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are giving American tax money to increase population in Africa and that is stupid because we need to get rid of people. Fewer bees = fewer people = better world.

That's the world according to grandpap.

Now you have the explanation for the Chamtrailes released by our governments, they want to reduce the earth population by 98%

[FarmacyPhlaverd]

I wonder if the fact that magnetic North is moving 40 miles per year has anything to do with this.
