    death of bees - death of us

    Bees in the usa and uk are dying out.

    this could mean end of food.

    soon we could run out of food.

                            Its obvious by the posts in this thread as to why we are in this situation. Most of us wont have to worry too much about it, but when you wake up and realize you care about what your kids will do, well thats a different story.

                              True, Bees are a very important "link" in the food chain. No Bees, No Polenization, No Polenization, no more Flowers/Fruits, If Vegetation dies, then animals dies... and so on ...

                                well... its not like bees can't be raised and taken to crop fields to pollinate everything.. its being done right now. i seriously doubt there's going to be any catastrophic consequences of a temporary die off of bees

                                  if anyone is experiencing a shortage of bees, please feel free to camp out in my back yard with whatever you need to catch and transport these little fuckers to your own yard.

                                    I wish someone would tell the carpenter bees that are eating my house instead of the 1000's of trees in my yard that they are supposed to be dying.

                                        Scary shit.

                                        I am more worried about stuff like this than Al Gore's messianic global warming fraud.

                                                  haha. Having the same problem here. Is there a good solution you know of?

                                                  Basically all I have been doing is squirting the holes full of poison to kill them, but by that time the damage is done.

                                                    Mono-culture is the problem.

                                                    There are still plenty of bees around, but simply not the kind that agriculture prefers to use... many farms depend heavily on artificial hives of honeybees bred specifically for agricultural pollenation purposes.

                                                    There are plenty of other bee species out there, such as as bumblebees, that exist in large numbers, but they take more effort to utilize.

                                                    Mono-culture tends to lead to trouble eventually because nature will often balance things out in a rapid, extreme way.

                                                      Basically all I have been doing is squirting the holes full of poison to kill them, but by that time the damage is done.
                                                      Nope, been doing that too It's weird, the holes they make on the logs (I live in a log cabin) are the perfectly formed holes. I spray those and thanks to some advice from a neighbor, fill them with a natural unpainted golf tee. But there's a place above the door on my screen porch where they go in lines and have been for years. Then there are the places I can't reach. I'm sitting here watching 3 of them from my office window that is 20+ feet in the air.

                                                      I have a friend who sits out during the spring with a tennis racquet and just swats at them.

                                                                This is a huge concern and truly nothing funny about it. I saw an article very recently where it appears the genetically mutated crops are causing many bees to literally have cancer in there bodies. I saw the autopsy of the inside of the thorax on them and the differences is literally balack and white.

                                                                However, and though this too is causing a problem in those areas of the world it seems to me the key to finding the problem is in the way the bees are disappearing. Does it seem odd to you that the bees leave the hive as normal and then simply do not make it back. Large numbers of them. Like they lose their sense of honing or direction capabilities. They are not finding them dead anywhere either. They are just gone. I bet it has something to do with energy waves or something in the air. Chemtrails?? Maybe cell phone tower emission?? or have you looked at HAARP?

                                                                Thats my 2 cents worth. And there is plenty of people out here as worried as you ... Trust me on that. Its called walking with our head out of our ass on the way through life. I prefer to see where I am going... its unbelievable to me how many people who don't though. To each his own I guess. Hell from my view point... the inside of an ass may be a better view these days!! Maybe they are the smart ones ey?

                                                                    They do that now. The bees die off within a couple weeks though.

                                                                    I think it's a serious issue. Maybe it won't mean we all die off, but it could cause food shortages across the world. We are already seeing some shortages in parts of the U.S. of grain and other vegetables.

                                                                        Wiki.

                                                                        Honey bees are not native to the Americas, therefore their necessity as pollinators in the US is limited to strictly agricultural/ornamental uses, as no native plants require honey bee pollination, except where concentrated in monoculture situations—where the pollination need is so great at bloom time that pollinators must be concentrated beyond the capacity of native bees (with current technology).

                                                                        They are responsible for pollination of approximately one third of the United States' crop species, including such species as almonds, peaches, soybeans, apples, pears, cherries, raspberries, blackberries, cranberries, watermelons, cantaloupes, cucumbers and strawberries. Many but not all of these plants can be (and often are) pollinated by other insects in small holdings in the U.S., including other kinds of bees, but typically not on a commercial scale. While some farmers of a few kinds of native crops do bring in honey bees to help pollinate, none specifically need them, and when honey bees are absent from a region, there is a presumption that native pollinators may reclaim the niche, typically being better adapted to serve those plants (assuming that the plants normally occur in that specific area).

                                                                        However, even though on a per-individual basis, many other species are actually more efficient at pollinating, on the 30% of crop types where honey bees are used, most native pollinators cannot be mass-utilized as easily or as effectively as honey bees—in many instances they will not visit the plants at all. Beehives can be moved from crop to crop as needed, and the bees will visit many plants in large numbers, compensating via sheer numbers for what they lack in efficiency. The commercial viability of these crops is therefore strongly tied to the beekeeping industry.

For example, cucurbits like cucumbers, melons, and squash are all pollinated within a few hours of sunrise by squash bees, before honeybees are even active for the day. Since female cucurbit flowers bloom days after the male ones, the cucurbit-loyal squash bees also are able to correctly deposit the pollen days later, while the honeybees may have dispersed most of the pollen to non-squash plants by then.

It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area.

                                                                                  There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague . . .

If that "eventual" is any more than, say, 5-10 years, nobody will care. We are way too selfish of a species (even with mass communication!) to refuse the dollars created by an industry, even if it means the money will be worthless to the next generation, because all they want is something to eat.

I do think that a lot of the trickle-down "we're all gonna die" cries are coming from doomsday alarmists, and aren't soundly based in science.

                                                                                              Man I love how Foriegners fantasize about the fall of America.

                                                                                                do you have any clue what one colony of bees is worth??? If we have to resort to raising bees. honey bees with blow oil right out of the fucking water as a resource worth fighting over. beekeeping is not as easy as it maybe seem or sound...

                                                                                                i don't honestly think there's any catastrohpic drop in bee populations. it is something to think about as a possibility yes. but i think they're really grabbing at straws with this one...
