This is an extremely serious topic, which much of the world's future food production hinges upon.

However, I suspect we are only beginning to 'see' the very early-stage-warning symptoms, of a much more far-reaching degeneration, that is concealed within a climate of change!

Yes, this is definitely really serious. Thanks, Suri.

Very serious indeed! Last week I saw a honey bee for the first time in over a year. I actually sent it flying away with a prayer. I have made a home for Mason Bees in my back yard. If I could have a Honey Bee hive in my yard I would install it in a minute. Humans needs to stop sleepwalking and start seeing what is happening on Earth before it is too late.

I saw a very 'fat' & clumsy honeybee recently--she looked DRUNK. I watched her for half an hour try to get out of the flower she had been collecting from---except every time she tried, she would take off great, then drop, then rise, then drop gain, and finally got herself safely to aforementioned flower. It was just SO peculiar. I do not think 'domestic'/commercial honeybees are WELL. They seem...inebriated and depressed.
[Ok that sounds anthropomorphic--but that wasn't the first one I'd seen 'dazed & confused".] xo

This really, really scares me. I wonder why more agricultural scientists aren't working on it. I really should be a global priority.

Monsanto is Probably busy at work Splicing genes To create Killer Bees that Feed on thier GMO CRops; Then go Pollinate the Neighbours crops with Terminator Pollens; So they Sue the Honest Farmers that Grow them; So they have to Buy the next generation of Seeds From Monsanto.....

So typical of humans to ignore the small but vital things in life. When will all these scientists and 'experts' learn to focus on the little things that can make all the difference? I feel so bad for the bees - steal their food and then kill them off.

I have not seen a honeybee in about 15 years! This has been a problem for years and I wonder what they are doing about it? So imprtant! No bees no honey no fruit no veggies either!

The bees have been killed by chemtrails. When honey farmers found their bees dying last years, they were told that it was because of a pesticide local farmers were using on their fields. But this was not the true reason. This year I saw ONE bee. It is the same with other insects. Killing the insects is killing humans.

Bees are a keystone species in the complex interaction of life. Their pollination habits enable the breeding of a vast number of plant species. Without them, a huge number of important plant species will fall into endangerment. There are a lot of biologists working on this problem, but answers are not solutions.

There is a parasite that is devastating to bees, and it is spreading fast. Eradicating that parasite has been the focus of a lot of biological studies. Pesticides contribute to the problem, because it weakens bees natural resistance to this parasite and other diseases as well. Too many people. That's the root of most problems (IMO)

THE BEES DIEING , HOW MUCH LONGER CAN WE SURVIVE.

We live in Florida and on the upside of this we had a honeycomb in the eve of our house and these bees seemed to be thriving, we finally had to call afriend of ours who is a beekeeper to remove them because it was getting to big and was right outside a door opening from our garage. He did it very humanely by attaching a box with a comb inside it the bees then flew in there and once they were out of the old comb they couldn't get back in so after about 3 weeks they were all in the new comb including the queen he then detached the box and fixed the eve so it couldn't happen again and introduced them gadually into a new colony. So as far as I know at least for now the bees around here seem to be alright
I do want to say that I agree wholeheartedly that pesticides are the culprit. It seems to me we are trying to kill off every insect and animal on this planet.

There were warning about this many years ago..They never listen..
Thanks Suri..
