Save the Bees!

[Doug]

A new documentary (trailer below) seeks to unravel the mystery of why billions of honey bees have been disappearing from hives across the United States.

"Vanishing of the Bees" follows a group of U.S. beekeepers hit by Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), which first struck in 2004 and made U.S. headlines three years later.

Countless bees would suddenly vanish, leaving an empty hive but few bodies. While all of the causes of this disaster are yet to be established, strong evidence suggests a link to Bayer's insecticide imidacloprid.

No Shit, Who'd Of Thought


The chemical industry is destroying our planet. A population collapse of honeybee pollinators would lead to a food supply collapse

This scenario has already begun to unfold, and new science reveals (new?) that pesticide chemicals may be the root cause of the mass die-off of honeybees around the world
