Thank you interestedalways this is great information about the magnetic alignment in lifeforms and how important it is for navigation and survival.

This is how important honey bees are to you and me. Believe it or not Bees are more important than poultry as far as human nutrition.

Another tid bit of info is Bees living inside one hive visit on the average 1,000,000 flowers per day within a 400 square Kilometer area. Now that is impressive.

Hi artistoli, do not know the particular cause of the deaths and why the lack of the bees in your area of the world, and it is of great concern because your family has all noticed something is not quite right. Check and see if any pesticides have been sprayed in your area or an abnormal amount of chemtrails, cloudy like contrail patterns in the sky, have been made lately. Let us know if any new cellular phone towers have gone up near by you also. Rik Riley

An important but not new issue!

The first thread on this problem was in February 2007 here:
ATS Bees Disappearing by Loam

But a thread later that month has some really really interesting information in it, on this issue from many good sources, I covered most of it here and I bet when you find out how your tomatoes are really created with sexy bees you will never look at a salad the same again!

WOW DO BEES REALLY DO THAT?

Nope Einstein never said it but whoever did was right!

In The world currently the issue of dying insects besides bees is now a problem too with food supply for us humans butterflies which in turn some flowers and the entire food chain require are in serious decline now!



Data from the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme showed that eight species were at an all-time low as a result of an unsuccessful summer in 2007.
BBC News

Here are some experts talking on video about the current Bee situation, in the UK in one area they have almost completely disappeared, and some of the hives being deserted are in fact wild unlike some previous posters state!
BBC Mystery of Disappearing Bees Video

And the Expert Interview:
BBC Interview with bee expert Video


Here is a good synopsis

Panic in the beehive
If the UK lost its honey bees the countryside would face devastation, and that is exactly what beekeepers fear could happen.


BBC Panic in the Beehive Story

I love honey, im going to plant some flowers for the bees!

Maybe it will help all us from stopping to starve to death if we all planted a flower a week for the bees! and us too!

Seriously it is a bit like that.

Kind Regards,

Thanks MischeviousElf for sharing this other thread with us this is some great information and although the problem with the bees dying is worldwide it seems more so in America. I was told to keep watching and see if there is a decline of the butterflies and if so this is a sign. Rik Riley

Magnetoception (or "magnetoreception") is the ability to detect changes in a magnetic field to perceive direction or altitude and has even been postulated as a method for animals to develop regional maps. It is most commonly observed in birds, though it has also been observed in many other animals including honeybees and turtles. Researchers have identified a probable sensor in pigeons: a small (dwarf), heavily innervated region of the skull, which contains biological magnetite. Humans have a similar magnetite deposit in the ethmoid bone of the nose, and there is some evidence this gives humans some magnetoception.
Magnetoception


We know about the world through our five senses - sight, sound, touch, smell and taste. But what if there is a 6 th sense? Maybe there is - the magnetic sense.

This magnetic sense seems to be powered by the first new substance found in the human body since the early medical anatomists made the startling discovery that we are made of "blood, guts and bones". There are tiny magnets, as well, in the human brain - and these magnets can stop you from getting lost.
Magnetic Sixth Sense


Some years ago scientists at CALTECH (California Institute of Technology in Pasadena) discovered that humans possess a tiny, shiny crystal of magnetite in the ethmoid bone, located between your eyes, just behind the nose.

Magnetite is a magnetic mineral also possessed by homing pigeons, migratory salmon, dolphins, honeybees, and bats. Indeed, some bacteria even contain strands of magnetite that function, according to Dr Charles Walcott of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology in Ithaca, New York, "as tiny compass needles, allowing them [the bacteria] to orient themselves in the earth's magnetic field and swim down to their happy home in the mud".
Do humans have a compass in their nose?

Even if Bees should die out (North America) This is not a world wide problem.
Only one-third of the human diet is derived from insect-pollinated plants. So don't panic yet guys.

Main pointer to date is with the Varrora Mite (half of hives tested had Varrora and 3/4 had the IAPV) and Israel acute paralysis virus (IAPV). Not the end of the world. Also large numbers of supposed CCD cases have turned out to be natural winter die off's, other known viruses etc.

Many thousands of crops are cross pollinated by the wind and other species of bees (20,000 species to be exact) not just the Western Honey Bee.

Bees aren't the only pollinators in the world beetles, flies, wasps, thrips, butterflies and moths are all successful pollinators.

Also these problem is only affecting commercial hives, all organic/natural hives bee colonies have shown no affect.




The quoted post is a lot of what I was going to post. Also, although I am not 100% sure, I think honeybees are not native to the USA. They were brought here by the colonists in the 1600's. That means , just as greenfruit said, bees are not the only pollinators. I realize there is a much larger crop of food than in there was 1000 years ago, but it will still happen. The other ways of pollination may not be as successful as bees, but it used to work. I had better close by saying I am not downplaying the deaths. It does concern me. Oh yeah, there are thousands of honeybees out in my yard right now(not kidding!).

I'm glad you brought this up, I've been doing some reading and came across HAARP, for a while now I"m convinced there is something going on there that seems wrong. I posted a thread on HAARP there are also some very interesting videos on it.
