Bees and Butterflies Are Going Extinct, Taking Our Food Supply with Them

I work with a local hive down by my family's acres. I understand the issue and the issue is more of a concern of mine.
we're not really sure.
not sure how true it is but erykah badu in a song said that certain frequencies that cell phones emit are confusing the bees and throws off their internal compass and makes it hard for them to go out and navigate to places that they need to go to survive.
i took her serious because she is a vegan and an animal activist like me.
here is a snippet of a video from TIME...
Which song?
These ended up being bumble bees.
Tens of thousands of dead bees and other insects were found in a Target parking lot in Oregon earlier this week in what is being called one of the largest mass deaths of bumblebees in the western U.S., a local environmental organization says.
The dead bumblebees, reported to be around 25,000 number, were found by shoppers under blooming European linden trees in Wilsonville, Ore., according to the Xerces Society, a Portland-based nonprofit that studies bees and other invertebrates. Xerces was the first to document Monday's mass death.
Update (June 21, 12:15pm): Bee-proof netting is being installed to cover the 55 linden trees in the parking lot to prevent further bee deaths, The Oregonian reports. The paper also reported that the Oregon Department of Agriculture is working with a number of organizations, including the maker of Safari, the insecticide suspected in the deaths, to determine further action.
Previously reported:
While the cause of the die-off remains unknown, the organization believes the incident may be from a toxic pesticide that was used on the trees for cosmetic reasons, or simply because the trees are members of a poisonous species.
The Oregon Department of Agriculture is working to determine the cause.
Bees have been dying in remarkable numbers in the U.S. since 2005, greatly reducing the number available to pollinate many of the nation's fruits and vegetables.
The epidemic, known as "colony collapse disorder," caused U.S. bee keepers to lose about one-third of their colonies last year. Researchers believe the epidemic is due to a relatively new class of insecticides known as neonicotinoids, which are chemically similar to nicotine and are thought to reduce bees' capacity to learn scents, making it difficult for the insects to find food.
Clarification: The 25,000 dead bees were bumblebees, although some dead honey bees were also found in the parking lot. Colony collapse disorder is a malady primarily affecting honey bees.

I guess I've figured out your character. Everything you type is uppity black republican-esque, while wearing an ascot, smoking jacket and a corn cob pipe. Cool shtick, bro.
Humans been tearing shit up since day one. Wherever humans spread, some species lost. In some cases, they were other humanoids. Once humans got out of the hunter/gatherer stage, shit really started to go downhill for the planet.
i've seen a special on bees years ago on television that was very informative.first we need to get rid of the pesticide neonicotinoid then.sure they could reformulate it or something. i need to do more research and see if this pertains just to the u.s. just cant be the whole world

So this is why honey so damn expensive

Whatever you say white trash cracka.
You have me and your "uncles" that ran in and out of your mother's bedroom confused. Again that public school education at work.
The miracle foods out of the bee hive are the key ingredients in bringing blacks into the knowledge of self. I myself rent an apartment. I had tried to grow honey bees where my mother lives but she did not want bees flying around there. Now she has sold the land and the house. I would have to get me a house back in the woods to raise honey bees.
With all the bombing of Afghanistan they probably destroyed a lot of giant bee hives. The largest are the one north of Afghanistan in the Himalaya mountains. As long as Satan (whites) rule the world we are headed to toward the total destruction of the earth. Unless blacks return to being their glorious self as we were in the beginning.
Only a God can create a God and only a devil can create a devil.

It may not have had anything to do with the bees. She may have just been pissed that you were able to track her down.
LOL very funny
What's the pardon?
Well depends on how you look at it. You're right for 250,000 for our current form or modern form. But I think the human species in general dates back a few million years ago.
Ol Thurston Howell ass ninja.....
From growing up in a rural area in the 80s to now I have noticed alot less insects and animals. I rember there used to be hundreds if not 1000s of lighting bugs on my parents property every night. Last year was the first time I saw one in about 7 years. I think the lost of insects and global warming is due to all the new construction. There is just to much developed land.
I remember as a kid we would find a wasp nest being built somewhere on our house every year and have to get rid of it. I haven't seen a wasp nest on my house in the last 4 or 5 years.

meanwhile the cockaroach is still chillin..scientist mite be rite if the nukes went off the only thing left alive mite be the roaches
i still can't beleive the world is taking these massive events so cavalierly
the world is very naive..if it ain't on facebook or whatever celeb ain't talking about it..it's meaningless
Ain't this the truth
I remember back in the late 90s we used to have trucks that used to ride down the side streets of Chicago and spray some sort of "smoky gas" into the air. I dont know what it was. It didnt have any type of "raid spray" odor. But they said they used the smoke to kill the mosquito's.
Weather could be a factor....but even during the warm summers it seems as if the mosquito's only hang in certain areas. I dont even see insects flying around streets lights like i used to. Obviously theyre putting something into the air or putting something on the trees. But at some point you have to wonder if the shit that theyre using is affecting humans as well.
You got a lot of mofos walking around the hood...like crazy desensitized zombies. Chemicals in food, chemicals in the air. Your organs can only filter so much before they become overtaxed. I bet if they gave poorer folks toxicology reports..i bet theyd find all sorts of deadly bs; bs that kills you slowly.
