Fhirinne User ID: 17348671 United Kingdom 06/08/2012 04:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'd have to say it's taking the heat off the chemical companies. Pesticide May Give Honeybee Virus an Advantage A common pesticide used by beekeepers to kill honeybee-infecting mites temporarily leaves the bees more susceptible to a debilitating virus, new research suggests.

But it very quickly got lonely and repetitive in bliss, so you decided to be born once more. You've been doing this forever. Whilst I may not agree with what you say, I will defend to the death my right to disagree with you. Some say "think outside the box". I say "what fucking box?!" xx:taosmilie: |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 6289134 United States 06/08/2012 04:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | wow. might want to give more than 15 minutes between bumps. anyway.. personally I would rather see the scientific study, and gain more insight into who is funding the study, before I accept this as THE cause. As a matter of fact the article doesnt say it is THE cause, only that it "helped". Helped what I ask? The mass amounts of die offs from the chemicals we have, and continue to pollute the environment with? Come on people - humanity's attempt at covering up our guilt of what we have done, and continue to do to our own environment, is getting old. Take some responsibility and do all you can to limit your own pollution at the very least. There are less costly measures to achieving that "manicured lawn" that are far less damaging to the environment. Yes they can mean a little more work - but hell, some physical activity would be good for everyone. |

A team studying honeybees in Hawaii found that the Varroa mite helped spread a particularly nasty strain of a disease called deformed wing virus." At least there's some idea of what was going on now. |

Are these the same UK scientists that back Global Warming nuts??? Their credibility is quite low at this point. Not buying it. Last Edited by Useless Cookie Eater on 06/08/2012 04:59 PM |

Monsanto is happy that you're buying that explanation. It's so easy to sell you on that explanation, now that they've bought out the scientific research: Monsanto buys leading bee research firm after being implicated in bee colony collapse Learn more: [link to www.naturalnews.com] |

I apologize if i have somehow offended you. im not even the slightest bit angry or offended, but you have too see that the bbc is just printing rubbish articles as usual. going over old information like its new and ffs what is this Prof Ian Jones, a virologist from the University of Reading said the findings mirrored "other known mechanisms of virus spread". is that all a prof had to say!? and the BBKA chairman Dr David Aston said it "increased our understanding of the relationships between Varroa and [this] significant bee virus." had just that to say. the rest of the article is just conjecture. |
