Re: The Bees are disappearing
I saw that the Einstein thing was already brought up: Albert has been right about a lot of things in the past, though not necessarily in conjuction with nature (primarily mathmatical, obviously).
It worries me to some degree that this is true. Although I really don't enjoy being stung.

Re: The Bees are disappearing
the bees that are disappearing are the honey bees. the ones that pollinate flowers so that we have a food supply. they rarely sting.
the bees that bite and sting you are the hornets, yellow jackets and wasps. those are becoming more abundant from global warming.

Re: The Bees are disappearing
#1 on reddit right now:
No ORGANIC Bee Losses http://www.informationliberation.com/index.php?id=21912 http://reddit.com/info/1psmx/comments Apparently man-made hives have intentionally larger cells to trick the bees into growing bigger which somehow makes them more susceptible to parasites. Some jargon from the article: "By letting the bees build natural sized cells, I have virtually eliminated my Varroa and Tracheal mite problems. One cause of this is shorter capping times by one day, and shorter post-capping times by one day. This means less Varroa get into the cells, and less Varroa reproduce in the cells." Also, as I think was mentioned earlier in this thread, most commercial bees are inbred and are highly stressed from being trucked all around the country. They're subjected to pesticides and fed artificial diets. Maybe they just can't take the stress anymore.
