Have you hugged your bee today?
I haven't either, but I sure am grateful to them for all their hard work!

I just finished watching the special on PBS.org and it is so sad to learn what the fate of the bee may be in a few short years. People need to realize how crucial honeybees are! Planting flowers they pollinate is very important! SO COME ON GARDENERS EVERYWHERE - PLANT FLOWERS THAT HONEY BEES LIKE AND THAT ARE INDIGENOUS TO YOUR AREA! You will be doing a great service to all of us - including the health of the honeybee!! :)

Money money money mammon How much is being made by genetically engineering and mass producing "pollinators" and using uneccessary and dangerous pesticides,. How much by increasing global warming and destroying the habitat for all including humans.

When will we ever learn when will we ever learn.
Yes anyone who can should try putting up hives and going organic

If I tried it herea) My landlord would out me-and the bees would be killed anyway by the local pesticides. That is if they were not exterminated by the commercial gardening unit that does our block- I did try protecting a tiny hive of local wild bees that started in our garden- It was destroyed by pesticide and I could do nothing about it. What the hell can renters do!

I had no idea we've been importing bees from Australia in order to pollinate fruit crops. The PBS special was great. Thanks for the post, Vicki.

Actually, when they say scientists don't know what's causing this, it's only a smoke screen. Organic bees are not suffering the same fate. Search google for "organic bees not dying" and you will find a ton of articles on what the situation really is.

I watched the show and I'm scared for the future. They may not have located ONE cause, but we all know that the pesticides, global warming, etc are taking their toll. 2035 is just around the corner...

Yet, another consequence of human acts.

Yes again the people over mom nature herself.We againstrive to make production of one thing to benifit us and at the same time {amazing isn't it} we destroy the thing that makes what were trying to increase! I didn't see the article and don't really feel completely uptodate so I'll keep reading and learning and the biggests thing I can truly do is pray for all of MOTHER NATURE!

Noted and thanx 4 highlighting the plight of the Bee. We have been hearing this too in the uk :( Bees are so important to our lives...

I actually got my son to sit and watch this, he is 25 and twice my size so it was a real challenge, but it made an impact on him, so sad that one needs to be made at all, such a consumerist society we have, but this finally broke thru and made him aware of the environment in a way he has never viewed it before.

It is very strange how `the experts' avoid looking into the connection between CCD and electrosmog! To check out how sensitive bees are to electromagnetic fields, particulalry `pulsed microwaves' from mobile phones, masts, WiFi, digital TV transmission etc, please inform yourself and look up
www.hese-project.org/hese-uk !

Bee experts claim that a virus imported from Australia is the main culprit. So far there has not been a CCD outbreak in Australia!!

My guess is that this is the most important story of the 21st Century (short though it may be - as far as humans are concerned).
