Do you know that honey bees are disappearing all over the U.S.A.? Can we support our crops without them?

A world without bees? Where are we heading?

Quote:
There’s still no concrete evidence about what is killing the millions and billions of bees around the country, but there are a lot of guesses.
The phenomenon is recent, dating back to autumn, when beekeepers along the east coast of the US started to notice the die-offs. It was given the name of fall dwindle disease, but now it has been renamed to reflect better its dramatic nature, and is known as colony collapse disorder. It is swift in its effect. Over the course of a week the majority of the bees in an affected colony will flee the hive and disappear, going off to die elsewhere. The few remaining insects are then found to be enormously diseased - they have a “tremendous pathogen load”, the scientists say. But why? No one yet knows.
… The disease showed a completely new set of symptoms, “which does not seem to match anything in the literature”, said the entomologist.

Well, C.S. it will be funny indeed when there is no honey, no blueberries, no raspberries, no nuts, no produce, etc. etc. etc. Ha, ha, ha,  |

Nobody eats that stuff anyway. As long as we still have burgers, fries, cheese and candy, we'll be just fine. |

You "think" it is a serious problem. Heck, who needs bees anyway. |
