This came to my attention yesterday.....the bees are dying. The honey bees to be percise.
Ok. This freaked me. When I heard this fact, waves of signs towards end of the world chaos came riding through my brain. This is real. At this time, scientist cannot explain why million of bees are dying, although theorist say it could be pesticides, global warming, or the fact that a bee who is affected somehow can travel great distances, possibly contamnating hive after hive. Either way it spells disastour loud. I am not trying to be a fear zealot, but this is not natural. Anyone know more? |

Wellllll Scientists have already given it a name (((colony collapse disorder (CCD))) THANK GOODNESS they have a technical name for it... lol... doesn't explain WHY they are spontaneously driven to abandon their homes and disappear to die though.
Here's a beekeeper quote kinda hit me: "It's the worst thing I've seen in 40 years of bee-keeping," "It worries me a lot, because honeybees are like the canary in the coalmine - if something's bothering them, it's a warning to us humans too." Yikes. |

I didn't realize the # of crops that partly depend on bee pollination. Apples, peaches, soybeans, pears, punpkins, cukes, cherries, blackberries, strawberries... are just SOME of the crops that could be affected by this right across N America.
This is a serious problem. |

| I sure hope scientists are working hard to find the cause and a cure for what's causing this..... After all bees do for us, it's the least we can do for them! If this has to do with global warming and the way humans mis-treat the planet... this should be taken as a dire warning for sure. Scary to think what this could lead to and what this could be a sign of. | ||

.... Frogs too ... and probably many other species.
"Global warming is now believed to have set off a chain reaction wiping out entire frog populations and could possibly drive many species to extinction" Have you seen Al Gore's Doc? |

| IT'S "AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH". IF YOU HAVEN'T SEE IT. SEE IT... AND THEN MAKE OTHER PEOPLE SEE IT TOO. WE'RE NOT HELPING ANYTHING BEING IGNORANT TO THE ISSUE. | ||
