I've heard of birds dying off in their thousands in certain places. Now this might be a jump, but if bees and birds are adversely affected, and both use the Earth's EMF for navigation, could HAARPA be influencing things. One of the stated aims is to apply "perterbation" to the magnetosphere/ionosphere and monitor how it "eventually bounces back".

I've spoken to a few UK Naval guys (a couple of them have private boats in the same marina as me), and they tell me that the reason whales have been beaching more over the past few years is a combination of the effects of electromagnetic experiments and the developement of hugely powerful sonar equipment. they wouldn't comment (speculate?) on the source of the EMF, though.

The arrogance of my species appals me, in manuipulating systems they know so little about.

Just to add my personal perspective of the Bee Crisis of 2007.

The Weather here in New Jersey has finally broken away from Winter this week as I have finally seen people wearing shorts and driving convertibles with the top down.

What i saw yesterday in my back yard was 2 queen bees ... I'm not sure if this is unusual? But those were the only 2 bees that I've seen sofar and they were both queens and both in my back yard at the same time. Is this strange behavoir? I have no idea, its just what i've seen.

let's have the USDA fund a 'StUdio Study',


I use the premise that the honey bees have reached a certain plateau
and their own nuclic acids or enzymes or whatever is causing the
high-profile Colony Collapses.



review how Locusts of different 'families' are born then swarm for a period of time...some swarms are born on a 8 year cycle Locusts,
some swarms are born on17 year cycle Locusts...there are several others.


Most all over the world, there are maybe 12 different family lines of
european honey bees which are used in honey-farms & pollination
in muptiple thousands of colonies all over the world.
I'm suggesting the current Bee die-off is because of the lack of diversity in the bee population...with too many colonies having ancestery in the same Bee equivelent of it's Adam-Eve progenitors.
And these particular genetic line of bees have gotten to the mysterious 'trigger' that causes the die-off, extermintion...
about like Locusts die-offs


the natural die-offs do have beneficial results....
# new territories are available for new lines of honey-bees
# the surviver bees that have a different gene, will migrate to newer territory creating new coloniesas theymigrate And source differnt pollens.
# the natural die-off affords free-range bears and other honey eaters a
unexpected bounty, to perhaps survive a future harder winter that Nature has a way of forecasting & preparing for.


all the speculations of GM plants, nicotene insecticides, cell-phone frequency...are all engaging stories.
but the Natural cycle with a engineered depopulation intended to result
in migration and colony diversity in any geographical zone,
seems to me the way of the mysterious 'Mother Nature'



this is just a personal theory,
not meant to be a FYI or a BYA

thanks

I have heard otherwise...

I'll see if I can actually verify this.

Just out of curiosity, have there been any recent spikes in the number of known bees that have been infected with the tracheal mite known as Acarapis Woodi over the past few years or so. I know this particular mite lodges itself into the thorax of a carrier bee, which is responsible for the locomotion and flight ability in bees. Although I see nowhere that this particular mite could be deadly to bees in large numbers and particularly only shortens their life by a few days or so, but had any mutations occured in the genome of the mite due to other factors it may explain their disappearance.

Could there have recently been a spike in the number of bees infected with this mite within the last few years? Maybe there is a more natural explanation for the loss of the bees...natural diseases or other predators. Maybe the Wax Moths have been a little more busy than usual...any recent spike in the known population of this particular moth?

I'm thinking stories will start popping up again this spring when bee season arrives. There isn't much demand for pollination during the winter. I saw very few bees of any type last summer.
