"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."

The Bees Are Dying And How Monsanto Will Be Responsible For The Upcoming Famine

Bees have been slowly declining in number since 1972. The drop in bee populations was traditionally called "Fall Dwindle Disease", which is cited here for the aid of future research; even though the word disease is not applicable. In 2006, a far more rapid decline ensued. The problem was renamed to "Colony Collapse Disorder" or occasionally "Honey Bee Depopulation Syndrome". Despite the repeated mentally-challenged naming of this problem, it is nonetheless a very serious problem for all of us. Prior to 2006, the gradual decline was attributed to a number of causes, including pesticide use and Varroa mites. By early 2007, the decline had reached new proportions. Bees simply disappeared, instead of dying in their hives. Large bee hives became like miniature ghost towns, and there is still no official explanation for the bees' disappearance.

                                       The Cause of Colony Collapse Disorder

The bacterial disease, Bacill Thuringiensis, was previously sprayed onto plants before its direct incorporation into the produce by Monsanto. Genetically engineered plants containing Bt were approved for use with the understanding that there would be no harm to non-target insects. (There was no mention of us humans, of course.) So Bt was studied for its effect upon bees, but only a direct correlation was studied. For instance, if bees are exposed to Bt in a controlled setting, and die within the next few days, then a direct correlation would be made. However, this is not how the toxin actually works, so the usual FDA science was used to get the 'right' 'scientific' results that the manufacturer had wanted all along. The so-called 'sub-lethal effects' were not investigated, and you can be certain that they never will be."The study concluded that there was no evidence of a 'toxic effect of Bt corn on healthy honeybee populations'. But when, by sheer chance, the bees used in the experiments were infested with a parasite, something eerie happened. According to the Jena study, a 'significantly stronger decline in the number of bees' occurred among the insects that had been fed a highly concentrated Bt poison feed."
