Bees and colony collapse disorder
Here's a project worth supporting if anyone has some spare cash. A film, a work in progress, on the vanishing of honey bees in North America and elsewhere by what has become known as Colony Collapse Disorder [CCD], which involves bees abandoning their hive and their queen, a situation unheard of previously by those who know bees. This website explains and highlights the situation and has a trailer and information on something which will affect all of us eventually, and perhaps not so far in the future. Whether we know it or not, we all depend totally on the humble honey bee to fertilise the majority of our food crops, if all the bees disappear, huge numbers of plant species will cease to exist, or at least cease to bear fruit and famine will result. This article suggests, with convincing scientific arguments, that it could be genetically modified [GM] crops [which are planted widely in North America, but still banned from Europe where CCD has still not been verified] causing the bees demise. If it is GM then we are doomed. GM pollen is now distributed round the planet, it's in the atmosphere, it's carried by winds high up into the stratosphere, something some of us have been trying to tell the clever scientists for decades. These plants have been genetically engineered to contain insect pathogens, and guess what, bees can be susceptible too. And although the GM scientists claim there's no danger, they have been known to lie and to get it wrong. In the event that this spreads worldwide, and currently there's nothing to suggest it won't, then we can forget about climate change making life on Earth untenable for the not so bright naked ape, as we'll all be extinct in a matter of years. |
