bee extinction study kept secret and hidden from the public

[Serpo]

Not that anyone would be surprised by this.....

Exposed! A Study on bee extinction conducted years ago by the USDA has been kept secret and hidden from the public!

The "disclosed" facts of this study were twisted, the public has been lied to in order to hide
one of the real causes of Colony Collapse Disorder!

Bees in The United States, and now Britian have been brought to near extinction due to this cover-up!

The results of the study conducted by the USDA proved that even
in microscopic doses the new pesticides manufactured and patented by Bayer
are causing Colony Collapse Disorder!

This is potentially game-changing research for understanding Colony Collapse Disorder.



Yet a top USDA Bee Researcher has intentionally kept the studies facts a secret!



The American study ... has demonstrated that the insects’ vulnerability to infection is increased by the presence of imidacloprid, even at the most microscopic doses. Dr. Pettis and his team found that increased disease infection happened even when the levels of the insecticide were so tiny that they could not subsequently be detected in the bees, although the researchers knew that they had been dosed with it.




the lead researcher at the USDA’s very own Bee Research Laboratory completed research two years ago suggesting that even extremely low levels of exposure to neonicotinoids makes bees more vulnerable to harm from common pathogens.



So why on earth are they still in use on million of acres of American farmland?



It has been over two years and this study is still witheld from pubication! "For reasons not specified" ???

Well we know well why this study has not been published!

For reasons not specified in the Independent article, the USDA’s Jeffrey Pettis has so far not published his research. “[It] was completed almost two years ago but it has been too long in getting out,” he told the newspaper. “I have submitted my manuscript to a new journal but cannot give a publication date or share more of this with you at this time.”



New Pesticides Are Killing Honeybee Population Worldwide

A new generation of pesticides could be to blame for Britain's vanishing honeybees, a study has shown.
The chemicals, which are routinely used on farms and garden centres, attack the central systems of insects and make bee colonies more vulnerable to disease and pests, researchers say.
The claims, which appear in an unpublished study carried out at the US Department of Agriculture's Bee Research Laboratory, add to the evidence that pesticides are partly(totally)(my brackets) responsible for the mysterious decline of one of the world's best loved insects.

Of course they know it kills bees


From page 5 of the EPA Memo
http://www.panna.org/sites/default/files/Memo_Nov2010_Clothianidin.pdf

This compound is toxic to honey bees. The persistence of residues and potential residual toxicity
of Clothianidin in nectar and pollen suggests the possibility of chronic toxic risk to honey bee
larvae and the eventual instability of the hive.

i love bees

[General of Darkness]

Who needs bees when we can use 6 billion for food? :dunno

i love bees


so do i.

the one plant i could grow that bees love, spearmint, is kind of invasive.

but maybe i'll plant some this year anyway ;D

Einstein Gives Humans 4 years After Bee extinctions (http://beforeitsnews.com/story/370/359/Einstein_Gives_Humans_4_years_After_Bee_extinction s.html)

Bees are hard to kill and they keep coming back,
in order to kill a hive you have to kill them all and
the queen, and the drones.

Reading about this for a while it is many things causing this to bees.

A bee hive naturally dies down but rebuilds quickly.

Alls you need is a queen and she will create a new hive.

The drones manage this, queen production.

That info is from my father the bee keeper.

Bees are actually some of the most incredible life on this planet.
The drones are the males that have been born from an egg that was not fertilized and they have no stinger, all they do is mate with the queen once and when they are done they are of little value to the hive, the workers that tend to the hive and queen are females, the workers will actually tear the wings off the drones and toss them out of the hive too die come fall time because they know they are of no value and will only deplete the honey reserves over the winter.
A queen can be made from almost any fertilized egg if the larvae is fed a special food by the workers called royal jelly, and 2 queen eggs are usually created so when they hatch the workers will force them too fight and then keep the winner as their hive queen, the winning queen will take what is called a nuptial flight and mate only once and then return to the hive where she lives the life of an egg layer.
When Spring arrives if the hive is strong and well populated the queen will take half of the hive and move seeking other territory to set up a hive in, this is called swarming.
