vue - Marla Spivak: Why bees are disappearing
Honeybees have thrived for 50 million years, each colony 40 to 50,000 individuals coordinated in amazing harmony. So why, seven years ago, did colonies start dying en masse? Marla Spivak reveals four reasons which are interacting with tragic consequences. This is not simply a problem because bees pollinate a third of the world's crops. Could this incredible species be holding up a mirror for us?

Sorry, Mineral chelator, not general chelator

Not one word about glyphosate. It is a massive general chelator and antibiotic.

Bat houses! install a bat box to stop the spraying of chemicals and pesticides. They are the natural pesticide. They eat the mosquitoes and crop insects at night. They're good for the eco system and also going endangered as well.

The bees that are dying are those who come after Queen Bee has been inseminated artificially.
Leave Honey bees alone, allow them to multiply in their own natural ways. Stop inseminating them artificially. Millions of years our nature took to give us this precious gift.
But those pretending to know think than in a brink of a period of time inseminated Queen Bees are better breed than those that have been travelling in the line of time for millions of years untill now.
Do not divide the colonies, allow the colonies divide themselves by their own natural ways, many forces are involved, we do not know all of them, It is the best ways to multiply your colonies.
Human being want to organize Honey Bees, Stop doing that, let the bees be themselves, do not be intrusive, be very gentle, do not disturbe them.
Inseminating honey bee artificially should be banned for ever, there are millions of reasons same as millions of years of natural lineage selection -
it is so sad :'( Bring the bees back ! what is the scenario today?
-
Ive got two hives coming in the spring :)

honeybees are the new canary in the cave.

They are disappearing because they hate the cities. They love the country where nature still strive, where there is tranquility, less pollution, less noise more importantly, they love the meadows & wildflowers. We are turning what used to be a quiet village into a giant concrete parking lot - that is what's killing them.

PERMACULTURE PERMACULTURE PERMACULTURE!!!!!

You wanna know why bees are disappearing?
Because you want to have a nice short lawn, you remove small plants you consider weeds, bees can't find enough flowers. So if you wanna save the bees, don't mow your lawn. In fact, leave your garden to nature's will. It will decide what is needed. -
This is a commie red plot to destroy our freedom! HAHHAHAHA-jk- I live with private and public gardens
many in a 1 mile area and one very large flower gorden. Last year I noticed honey bees only in one small area and then only for two weeks. This year I have seen zero so farI have been looking. There are bumble bees around and some butterflies. Personally- I think that with the numbers of new challenges they have- I think they have found that the effort is to great- they are giving up- its like a war torn country and all the hopelessness. -
Alfalfa is Medicago sativa and in pic provided is Centaurea cyanus + clover.

A wonderful speech. All you need to know about this problem in just 15 minutes. Just learned that neonicotinoids have been banned in EU since 2013. Would be interesting to hear about the results of this.

50,000,000 years? You would have to be smoking pot to believe anything in this world could make it that long. Just look what has happened in 50 years. If someone will lie to you about anything then nothing they say isnt toxic and misleading. Regardless of the size of tick they give you. Scientists are mostly liars with dollar signs in their eyes. And its their beloved pet: genetic modifications that require massive doses of monsanto's roundup. So scientists enable and support GM. Thats why she kept her mouth shut regarding GM. yes. They are bold faced liars who have pioneered the hacking of what GOD created and then claim they 'discovered' it. More like dangerous and harmful information was downloaded to their huge egos by entities that are the enemies of humanity and the beautiful world GOD made. Incidentally - their GM chimeras are what partly necessitated the destruction of that first world. And Atlantis. Yep - they are doing it all over again. Making a mess of everything for money and ego.Jesus said : "as it was in the time of Noah - so it shall be again"And he is right isnt he? What else do you think he is right about? Mmmmm. Just a thought. For those who genuinely desire truth and knowledge.

Many beekepers also harm theyr bees by feeding them with sugar and addicting to pesticides.

GMO... This is more complex than just Monsanto. MAN has accidentally genetically modified the Environment simply at first, by clearing... this moved the forest, or woods back, this is actually stealing land and evicting all Unnecessary THINGS!
this we interpret as farming, a way of living, in ONE SPOT?
we saved certain seeds, GMO, this made the so called mono seeds???
Even the Red indians did gmo, they burnt the dry grass, and so the spring made it luscious for their favourite meal, the Buffalo!
