Honeybees literally disappeared from my flower gardens this year. Could the recent installation of 5G towers in my region be a factor?

The transgender bees have stopped working and are demanding welfare.

Methinks its the influx of illegal alien bees from South America.

So we poison honeybees such that it affects future generations — and that gives us an excuse to franken-design bees now?!?

Bill Gates must be giggling with joy again.

Honey bees are a non native species. Their populations collapse evey so often.
I had plenty of native bees in my garden this year but honey bee numbers were down.

Hey, if progressives can control the climate of the entire earth, they can easily fix a honey bee problem. Nothing to worry about!

What shocked me is that the article didn’t try to blame “climate change!”

This doesn’t sound like a very controlled study!

What if the eggs are low in nutrients or affected by disease or pesticides or in some way by poor condition of adult bees? Ditto from egg to advanced pupae? Maybe there is something wrong with the protocols?

A genetic component? So they had good genes until the 1970s and now they all have bad genes?

Hmmm....my two hives totaled three swarms this year. The little buggers were building comb up through the inner cover!

I am sure the number of flowering plants, and the distance between them has declined over the past 50 years. This mean they have to work harder to hit the same number of flowers.

In addition, with pesticides and emissions in the air...the environment for the little ladies is tougher.

I would assume the bees used to pollenate fields are doing fine and getting fat. Wild hives....not so much.

Kept bees in a controlled laboratory environment

Cabin fever must have got to them.

This is because their social security is failing.

Not a problem. That’s still plenty of time for same day voter registration, given that no real ID check is needed in dem states. Pulling the lever, using the punch card machine or filling in the oval used to be a real problem for bees, but vote by mail and vote harvesting has taken care of that problem.
