How Serious Is The Honeybee's Sudden Colony Collapse Disorder?

Actually, I believe the answer to this mystery has already been found although the beekeeping industry is so far unwilling to hear it. Organic beekeepers have reported no instances of the syndrome whatsoever. Furthermore, observation of "feral" honeybees indicates that this is not happening to wild colonies either. Whatever it is, CCD is apparently only a disease of large-scale commercial beekeeping.....

How serious is it? Well it's not good, but unless it combines with other factors, it won't deal a fatal blow to either the agricultural sector or the food supply. I do not say this to discount the problem; it is by no means impossible that CCD may converge with other threats to generate a severe food shortage.

If you want to worry about something, investigate the connection between fossil fuel consumption and modern agriculture. Ten calories of fossil fuel energy are being expended for every calorie of food produced today. The implications of this (see below) are extremely disquieting....

I dont see bees in public the two. For the previous 5 years I fairly have had 2 nest by employing my residing domicile, this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days none. I fairly have a bee nest at paintings it fairly is vacant this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, even however the queen bees are alive and burrowing by using wood, very stunning for a bee. It has to have some element with guy on the back of it. and that i dont have faith it fairly is cellular telephones, we've had cellular telephones for variety of 15 years now, plus satellites beaming international huge.

This Australian web site has many links for additional information. Many bee keepers are hired to take their hives to pollinate crops since the habitat and viability of wild bees are under environmental attack.

We would actually lose all of our flowers and produce, as bees pollinate basically everything that we grow.

very serious........
