When Pig's Fly
Posted April 25th, 2007 by tea
This was written several years ago in Europe and may be relevant today. There is grave concern now about worldwide BEE Colony Collapse Disorder. Nobody knows for sure what is going on.
GM foods, neonicotinoid pesticides and cell phones are being investigated!
With all of the issues we are facing today, is this something to talk about now?
The Bees die... and the planet too!
The planet is the common good of humanity. Taking care of it gives life a meaning.
It is necessary to make the farmers understand what their responsibility is, but they seldom have Internet. The bees are the second factor of life on our planet. There is nothing left but our awareness which can act on the totalitarian power of money. It is necessary to react, to transmit this important message to all and to find solutions because it is as serious as the war of Iraq. This poisoning is a planetary genocide.
The scandals that are appearing everywhere are nothing compared to the untold catastrophes which are being prepared because of the criminal unawareness of some world lobbies specialized in the massive poisoning of nature. The extermination of the bees by products officially declared as being non toxic is another example of this lack of responsibility.
I am speaking about the extermination of the bees - on which depends 80 % of the pollination of cultivated plants - by Imidaclopride which Bayer sells under the name of Gaucho to the farmers to coat seeds and to protect them from certain diseases...
This product paralyses insects such as bees which cannot return to the hive and they therefore die. When they do succeed, the honey which results from it is toxic (because it's poisoned). In less than three years, 450 000 hives were thus lost and production of honey fell from 45 000 tons to 25 000 tons in France. In Alsace, bee-keepers are regarded as disaster victims because of the Bayer products. In addition, it should be known that in Europe, approximately 4 000 vegetable species have their life assured thanks to pollination by bees.
Meanwhile, Bayer remains indifferent to complaints, and does not hesitate, in it's arrogance, to deny the facts and to claim biodeterioration (biodegradability) of its product within one year, but this one contaminates several successive harvests.
Recently, the Aventis group decided to take a share of the devil's profits with Bayer putting on the market a similar product, Fipronil sold under the trade name Regent. Obviously, in spite of the imminent ecological catastrophe which these products are undoubtedly producing, no government refused to give them the necessary legal authorizations.
Is there a responsible organization somewhere able to demand, in the name of reason and for our children and of the planet, an injunction for the immediate prohibition of the use of these poisons?
Warning: Gaucho and Regent are also sold in the supermarket for gardens. Look at the composition of the products and do not contribute to this catastrophy.
Let us remember the words of Albert Einstein: "No bees, no food for mankind. The bee is the basis of life on this earth ".
The farmers must become aware that with Gaucho, they cut off the branch on which they are sitting. Other solutions exist. In the meantime, the thousands of decimated hives do not give their owners a right to receive any compensation. Due to this, only in the Low-Rhine area, more than 100 new bee-keepers cease their activity each year.
What next? Synthetic honey and GMO bees?

Be part of the Draft Gore '08 campaign!
thanks for this
In Germany, where I've been spending some time on a farm just a couple km from the Rhine, I was told the bees left. I suggested they might have gone to Africa to indulge in training, I was joking. The guy who answered didn't get it - 'but these were Italian bees', he said soberly. He quoted Einstein, who said, after the bees die, mankind has four years. I'm not sure about that - other insects pollinate flowers, I suppose. But I didn't know the role of Bayer, and such, and will resume the conversation with the information you provide here, tea. I hear it's happening all over Europe, not just on our farm, but I'm not sure how many people know it's Bayer and such at fault. And there may be more reasons of course, such as the illnesses bees have been suffering.
Gore '08 - because we prayed
Colony Collapse Disorder
Gorilla, It looks like this may be the largest decline in the bee population ever recorded.
I hope the real cause is not hidden from the public. It seems there has been a decline going on for years due to something new in the environment. I believe the latest could be related to poison pollen from GM crops, soil contamination from residue and byproducts from manufacturing what looks like food, pesticides like nicotinoids. I don't think we have all of the facts. The people who have that don't recall a majority of what they know and delete All pertinent information. Hopefully, there will be more attention paid to these guys by people of conscience.

We may also be seeing evidence in the animal and food supply. We have heard how the chemicals cause damage to the stomach of insects and animals. The symptoms that are being reported around the world have been noted in tests on GM Crops and are probably on the warning labels. It is what is not on the label and what we are afraid of examining that worries me a bit.
Thanks for posting what you are experiencing in Germany. I am sorry to hear about the bees in your neighborhood. It is shocking, I hope they figure this out before it is too late.

What Are the Risks? (Friends of the Earth)
Human Health:
Early indications show that when we alter the structure of our food, we may unwittingly place human health in peril. GM plants commonly contain "marker" antibiotic resistance genes that help engineers determine how implanted genes have been taken up by the plant. However, the use of these genes may undermine our ability to fight disease. Bacteria are able to absorb genetic information from their surroundings, raising concerns that antibiotic resistance genes will be transferred to bacteria (in the guts of animals or humans or the environment in general through soil), stripping us of our ability to use these antibiotics to save lives. Health officials are also concerned about direct effects from consuming GM plants, such as increased food allergies.
"The committee is not aware of any evidence that foods on the market are unsafe to eat as a result of genetic modification." United States National Research Council, Genetically Modified Pest-Protected Plants: Science and Regulation, 2000.
The AMA believes that as of December 2000, there is no scientific justification for special labeling of genetically modified foods, as a class, and that voluntary labeling is without value unless it is accompanied by focused consumer education…The AMA recognizes the many potential benefits offered by genetically modified crops and foods, does not support a moratorium on planting genetically-modified crops, and encourages ongoing research developments in food biotechnology."

joy, the bees have returned!
I heard from a friend at the community, which I was at just last week (when there were no bees in the apiary), after sending him this thread as an attachment to an email. He replied just now, and apparently, the bees are back! He said,
"Good read,
This is one of Mofwoofoos big worries - apparantly all the bees here disappeared - happy to report they are back in one hive, i went and said hello. They weren,t very friendly, but there were a lot of them. I'll check tommorrow to see if they have a queen with them, when I have goggles.
Monsanto, Bayer, Aventis - these are bastards I have been fighting for so long - and have the prison sentences and police dog scars to prove it. They already control the vast proportion of food and pharmecuticals, and the bastards want it all. Fucking multinational empires."
(Mofwoofoo is a Californian who named himself, no it's not a cult, the rest of us are normal). The conversation then went on to less angry subjects, like meeting up for Queen's Day, the big party day of the year in Holland.
I am concerned about Al Gore's current policy positions on GM foods. Has he changed sides, now that we know more?
