I posted on You Tube awhile back about
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8A6Tl6JzG0

about Colony Death Disorder
and how Millions of bees over 22 states in America were dying
that the almond crops were in danger in the fact California growers couldn't get enough bees to polinate

and now today the news posted is Germany is seeing the same phenomena
Germany has been doing tests on GM foods since 2001 and their connection to bees

there is a suspicion that it is connected

In the world of Everything is connected
is Einsteins statement on the importance of bees to the survival of man
and on the pillars of temples and pyramids in Egypt
in hieroglyphics is the message of bees crops and the ankh the symbol of life
these ancient people saw the interconnection of pollinators and pollen makers and mankind (life)

How come we can't see it?

thanks to slampoet and southerncrone for the links and articles

1. ...I think the GM crops connection's stronger than the hieroglyphics one.
That said, that is an interesting twist to the story.

3. I must consider myself lucky
I have bees happily feeding on our angel trumpet tree -

the apple and mandarin trees are almost ready to bloom.. there are definitely fewer birds - though - one step up in the chain

damn - we have to stop this craze..

5. From what I have heard from beekeepers is
that the USDA highly encouraged the importation of Russian bees, due their ability to fight off the mites and the virus that was going around a couple of years ago. In fact, you could get free hives of Russian bees. Generally beekeepers love Italian bees. What I understand is, it is the Russian bees that are dying. Well, not dying, disappearing, they are not returning to the hives. There haven't been dead bodies found, but the hives do have a horrible odor and they do not return. This is from beekeepers in Ark and George Ure on http://halfpasthuman.com has reported the same thing.

But - I wonder if the horrible odor is from the GM crops. The bees can't use it, so they go off to find another hive.

The disappearing bees seems to be only affecting certain states. Southern states have bees, it is the Northern states that are seeing the lack. More GM crops there?

6. Texas has been hit very hard loss is huge
Interesting about the Russian bees and I know Texas has GM crops

I believe the conspiracy of taking over the world by control of the seeds by certain companies may have produced a backlash from Mother Nature...

if this is true then it will be interesting how they will handle the bees dying
will they continue their pursuits or will protecting the bees become one of our more important duties

We are the Beekeepers

7. Hi Lovuian, can you tell me where the Germans are testing GMOs?
I didn't have a chance to read this article before it was moved from Der Speigel. Thanks! :hi:
