mysterious honey bee deaths

[graflok]

Drastic deaths of honey bees reported in US and some other countries. Honey bees have a direct link to food crop production.

"... there have never been so many empty, deserted honey bee hives as there are now. And no one knows why."

Hi Graflok

Thanks for the info.

This is tragic to read & is going to have drastic effects to the foodchain.

It does make me wonder if the cause has something to do with Monsanto, or possibly chemtrails??? :mad: Whatever it is, it's not good.

[i am all i am]

The official line could be:

"We are now required to use GM seeds to maintain food production as pollination of food crops has been seriously affected because ...we killed... I mean... of the mysterious deaths of honey bees."

With LOVE.

Don't they also rely on magnetism for orientation, could it be the increase in interfering signals from all our wireless crap or the dwindeling earthly magnetism or both? And is it also happening to natural hives or is it just our artificial beekeeping witch is affected? (higher awareness amongst bees? the awekening buzz?:D :D )
Although whatever the reason, it would be a sad summer without the buzzing of honeybees!

My first thought was Monsanto.

From Greenpeace:

http://www.greenpeace.org/raw/content/international/press/reports/global-status-of-genetically-e.pdf

.....In 2006 the number of regions that have declared themselves GE free zones went up to 172 in the European Union. Additionally 4500 local authorities in the EU have declared that they want to avoid using GE products. One or more GE crop varieties are banned in seven European countries.....

Maybe that is why their honey bees are not dying.

Yeah that maybe the case.

Although I recall watching a GMO documentary recently (can't find it on Google now). But it was about farmers in the US who were being screwed over by Monsanto. If they were found to have even one stray plant with a Monsanto strain on their farm (which is obviously impossible to control), then they were being sued & forced to handover all jurisdiction to them, because they own the patent & therefore the future crops! :mad:

It's all part of the 'agenda', but totally wrong!

They have this new seed technology called "Terminator" which I presume refers to what it will do to us.

Yes I read about that. Apparently the seeds were being blown in on the wind (as they do) and thus it gave Monsanto the right to all crops.

[melbo]

The two European countries with the largest honey bee populations are France and Italy. It might be significant that those two countries banned certain pesticides in recent years because beekeepers there became convinced that systemic pesticides were killing off honey bees. And so far, neither France nor Italy has yet reported the collapse of honey bee hives.

looks like its the pesticides then. good old monsanto.

You will grow in your hatred of Monsanto by leaps and bounds.

now, this is really, really scary.
Worse than something from X files. and we know that X files are predictive programming.

after i glanced your post my first thought was CHEMTRAILS.

but, after i read the article, especially the (following) paragraph -- I am positive that this is all due to chemtrails, because chemtrails are main cause of FUNGUS:




In this case, the thing that is really amazing is that (normally) other bees will come in and rob out the honey that’s left and there are a few predators. Here in the south, we have a hive beetle that moves in and we have a wax moth that moves in and starts eating up comb and stuff. The interesting thing about this whole thing is that none of these (normal) things happen. The bees do not bother these (deserted) combs. They (honey combs) literally sit there for weeks and they (other bees and insects) don’t come to take the honey out of the boxes; the beetles don’t bother them; the wax moths don’t bother them. So, it’s just like there is something in there that’s repelling everything else.

AS IF THE HONEY ITSELF THAT WAS MADE BY ALL OF THE BEES THAT HAVE DISAPPEARED IS GIVING OFF SOMETHING THAT OTHER NORMAL PREDATORS AND BEES ARE STAYING AWAY FROM?


now, that last sentence is the worse -- have the bees turned into honey?
because, another thought that comes to mind is NANOTECHNOLOGY, and with nanotech maybe bees disintegrate?
who knows, maybe nanotech is in the chemtrails?

I would be surprised if it wasn't.

BTW, i have contemplated the idea that chemtrails will be used to destroy food crops, so that Monsanto maniacs
and illuminati that own Monsanto can make use of those 11000 food/crop/seed patents that they own.
I think that they plan to control all food, therefore controlling the countries and the world.

I have a mental picture of them blackmailing the billions of
starving people into acceptance of their insane system by
controlling food and water. After all, they are after "water rights" as well, and, they already have taken good portions of national parks from the people, so when SHTF you won't be able to go to your national park where you would have water and use animals as food source.
chances are, you'll be shot if you cross the national park line.

We definitely live in AGE OF INSANITY!
and, isn't it interesting that if all bees are gone the life on earth will cease to exist is some 4 years? Not too far off from 2012, huh?

I sure hope that for sake of humanity people wake up NOW.

BBC News now has a story on the vanishing bees.

"Box after box after box are just empty. There's nobody home."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6400179.stm

I would think such a situation is going to have a major effect on food supply very, very soon.

Good points there King. I did also think of the chemtrails because of the fungus connection & it wouldn't surprise me if they're using nanotechnology this way too.

This is certainly the way for their complete control in no time at all:mad:

It's scary stuff indeed!!!

Aloha
last year after a long fight we managed to get a suspension of Gaucho that was responsible for the killing of hundreds of thousands of hives but the effect will only be felt this year as they were allowed to finish ther stock....

here is an article in english

France suspends use of Gaucho insecticide for corn

French Agriculture Minister Herve Gaymard announced it planned to stop use of the Gaucho pesticide to treat corn seeds until it is reviewed by the European Commission in 2006.

In January last year, Gaymard had already extended for three years suspension of the use of Gaucho, a chemical produced by the German chemicals and pharmaceuticals giant Bayer, for treatment of sunflower seeds.

Gaucho, like another pesticide Regent TS produced by German chemicals giant BASF, has been accused by French bee-keepers of causing a high mortality rate among bees. Sales of Regent TS was suspended in France last February.

An agriculture ministry report deemed that the government's decision to give farmers till June to use up their remaining stocks of pesticide was much less costly that destroying the crop seeds already sprayed.

But the national association of bee-keepers says massive damage is being done to bee populations, which are crucial to plant pollination.

Subisidiaries of Bayer and BASF, which sold Regent TS, are under criminal investigation in France for selling an agricultural product that is toxic to humans or animals.

Thanks for posting this update, lookfar.

At the same time that the bees are vanishing, there is another BBC story called "Pentagon plans cyber-insect army" which tells of the US government's plan to use insects for warfare. Could there be a connection to the missing honey bees?

Thanks graflok, that's an interesting read.

Ah the lovely DARPA!!!:eek:

Certainly sounds plausible to me as they quite blatantly state that "A winning bidder would have to deliver an insect within five metres of a specific target located 100 metres away". So there must be organisations out there preparing such things. Plus the fact that they've already trialled this with wasps & bees, but supposedly "failed".

Also quite disturbed to read of their other few schemes... 'Self Healing Minefields' & 'Brain Interface Programmes' - the stuff of nightmares :eek:

[seamus]

I know a local beekeeper. He's a nice man. A little strange, as all beekeepers are. It's either a requirement or a result :p . I asked him about the disappearance of bees and he said "Yes it's been happening since the 80s. They call it "disappearing disease". No one knows what causes it. It's getting worse. Sometimes you will go out to a hive and find 5 or 6 bees clustered around a queen, and that will be all that's left of your hive. I've lost 3/4 of my hives this winter due to it. (lack of sufficient mass for proper heat)"

So it's getting worse.

Now German beekeepers are reporting drastic losses of honeybees. Genetically modified crops are a suspected cause.

See right here is a great example of what many off us are guilty of in the CT movement. Repeating what we have been told - often by many - without ever checking the facts or doing our own research. No different to a Talking Head repeater on the nightly news.

Einstein never said anything of the sort, not even close. Pure propaganda and we all soak it up without checking the facts.

We are all guilty of this to some degree.

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with honeybee deaths, but I was quite shocked to read this today...

Inscentinel is a biotechnology firm that aims to make handheld portable chemical detectors using live honeybees.

The firm hopes that the detectors could be used in searches for explosives or drugs.

"Basically we train honeybees to detect explosives by associating food with a sugar reward," said Dr David Grant, a scientist at the Hertfordshire based firm.

"When we give them sugar and a smell at the same time they learn the two things go together so the next time they get the smell they expect sugar and they stick out their tongues."

To make a working device, the researchers insert the bees into a case where they are filmed as a fan draws in air from whatever is being examined.

A computer provides an immediate read-out of the bees' reactions. The bees are only used for two days before they are returned to the hive.

Inscentinel's researchers say the bees are much more effective than sniffer dogs.

"Dogs treat their training as a game. If they get bored they may tell you that there are drugs present even when they are not," said Dr Grant.

"Bees don't treat it as game; it is a response. They are like little micro machines."

The company was formed in 2002 and is funded by venture capitalists including the majority shareholder, Oxford Technology Venture Capitalist Trust.

It has no revenue yet, but has had research contracts with the UK and US military.

The firm believes they could have a commercially viable product available in a year - but they need money.

Co-founder Matilde Briens said a lot of people are interested in the product but when it comes to investment "nobody wants to hear the word research".

Could very well be, tinny.

Something is going on here, I feel sure.

My first thought was that it might have to do with Monsanto's apparent goal to
control all crops through it's GM seeds (Monsanto "patents" its seeds so no one
can use them without paying Monsanto and they buy up all the other seed
producers so they have a monopoly). Eliminating bees helps increase that
monopoly by making certain crops scarce.

But, there's also evidence that genetic work has been going on with bees for
military purposes so this may be part of it too.
