NOT so SWEET! LOW NECTAR production leads to HONEY DROUGHT

It's been the same in the UK, too short and wet a Summer has ment that only a fraction of the usual flowers have bloomed. And if the bees die out.......

The bees won't die out if the bee keepers leave leave them with their honey this year. Commercial bee keepers routinely take every drop of honey, and they give the bees buckets of high fructose corn syrup to live on. Then they complain that their bees are weak and dying.

WW3 is about too kick off,maybe,thats why the bee's are dieing,i think this was deliberate so that world food shortages affect this war,someone benefits from the bee's dieing,you cant win a war if you cant feed your soldiers.

bee's do so much more than make honey,we shouldnt even take their honey from them,its the least they can get from the good they do.

just a thought.

suckage

My honeybees produced very little this year. left all the honey in the hives for them to feed over winter.

Had one hive swarm TWICE this year! Been a strange bee year all around.

plenty here.

northern nsw.

^ CORRECT! ^

I guess that means no more making mead this year. I you don't have a bunch put away, you better think about another drink.

oo, you are a beekeeper?

i planted a lot of flowers for bees this year.

I have 6 hives of Italians.

The most fascinating little creatures!

Damn those commercial bee keepers!!! High fructose corn syrup was invented for soda-addicted sheeple, not bees!!!

The bees over here are all dying from colony collapse disorder.. it's a disease that was found to be caused by all the monsanto pesticides infecting the flowers bees collected their nectar from. It's getting very little media attention of course

First of all.. Congrats on your new status...

This is an important issue... for all of us.
The plight of the honeybees is a direct result of ecosystem failure.

We should pay heed...

'Of course' is right!

Besides this, something that just happened to occur to me today -visiting a rose garden, is that all the hybrids tend not to have much scent, I think especially the ones that do well with hot humid fungus-prone summers. Made me wonder if that could be related to colony collapse disorder, too. 'Ornamental' fruit trees are often advertised with the reassurance that they don't actually produce fruit. We know what a pain that would be, right? -staining your driveway, littering your lawn, shudder! So it seems like all the food crops would have been bred to be 'improved' in some way, but less natural, for years, even before the monsanto atrocities.
Another thing is 'european' honeybees weren't native in north america and had to be introduced. similarly, earthworms were accidentally introduced, and not native. Without both, agriculture as europeans had known it would not have been possible. Ever wonder if the European-descendants themselves are not going to be permitted here in future? I think i've read earthworms are in decline too [chemtrails?]
