Honey Bees Disappearance in US Mystery UPDATE

I can't help myself from thinking that this has something to do with G.M crops, the bee's pollinate the crops and eat the nectar. Bats eat maily insects, which at least in the larveal stage mainly eat plants, so the bats are ingesting this stuff by proxy. Bats are highly sensitive to chemicals (I know this as fact as my mother is a bat protection volunteer. She currently has 23 bats living in a bat house I built, I had to be very careful what i used in the construction as bats are so vunerable). It just strikes me as odd that this is happening at the time when humans are playing god with our food crops.

it looks like everything that uses radio-waves for orientation is going extinct. Is there something wrong with the Earth EM field or humans are the cause with their Wi-Fi technology?

I am reading more and more about how bad GM crops are. They are beginning to find out that it causes cancer on a widespread basis and that GM crops are responsible for the bees disappearance.

There is nothing natural about this die-off, not in the symptoms or how they die. Other animals don't take over the hives after they are empty - wonder why? They have found food remnants in bee's stomachs that are undigested and they think it's fragments of the GM crops that are undigestible. This isn't good and it's not a good sign either.

And yes, the earth's magnetic field IS changing and that doesn't help either.

this is just a citizen update about the once missing bees which pollinate
all kinds of crops & flowers.


at least here in the SC coastal area, the small honey bee (which sometime sting the bare foot) have been seen here along the coast,

i was sorta taken aback with the unusual 'buzzzzz' sound and was quite relieved to actually see a honey-bee which was completely absent from this community last year.

My Japanese garden and the enclosing cedar fencing
has been indudated with both wasps and those large (as big as a thumb knuckle) 'Bumble Bees' or else 'Carpenter Bees' all of the last 1 1/2 years...

but the little buzzing critters are returning, or at least making a presence
at the purple flowering stalks of all the Ajuga plants i have.

The bigger bees are still around, maybe 20-1, but the little buggers are
making a comeback here at Lat 33.44.00 Long -79.00.00

You got to check this video out, it's in relation to the Killer Hornets, except these are from Japan, not to say they aren't elsewhere, but sheesh, these things are huge.

It looks like they're making a comeback.

There's been 3-4 instances of bee swarms reported on the Southern border of Arizona in the last couple of months . . . not killer bees from what the news reports.

Although, I haven't seen a bee here in N/W Arizona for some time.

One of the guys who goes to the Saturday morning donut shop gatherings reports seeing a swarm along the highway a week or so back.

Along with that, recently and several weeks back I saw a couple of pickups that were wiped out with bees on the grille and windshield.

Good news methinks....

I bet this is related to some common supplement, given to bees here in the USA, especially when bee keepers find their hives are "under stress".

I further bet that this supplement is made in China, or some other foreign country.

The reason that this has been so hard to find? The contaminant is no longer present in that supplement, due to better quality control by the foreign vendor (for now.)

The whole problem might just be THAT SIMPLE.

This didn't sound right to me, and I did some investigation. It appears that Einstein NEVER said this. There is no record of this quote anywhere (and Einstein's quotes are all very well documented.)

So making use of this quote adds nothing to to discussion, but undermines the seriousness and credibility of this issue by introducing bogus information.

I didn't see this refuted anywhere else in this thread. (Sorry if this point has already been made elsewhere.)
