"Native bees and african bees aren’t generally fed corn syrup as part of their diet because they are “wild” and no bees pollinate genetically modified corn. Corn is wind pollinated."

So stop feeding the bees corn syrup---switch to cane sugar.

"Please, reread what I wrote. The bees are fed corn syrup made from GMO corn the corn has trace pesticide that affects the bees immune system. I also state this is possible not an absolute."

I read what you wrote. It all amounts to speculation. You have no valid evidence. So you're a bee-keeper. Wheres your scientifically validated PROOF of the above. Simply put, you have none.

"I also don’t appreciate your tone, you sound like you have some ax to grind. I’m not the person that you need to grind against."

I don't give a **** what you think about my "tone". I think your "theory" is baloney. I watched exactly this kind of malarkey being spread back during the first explosion of eco-nuttery about the Spanish moss down South. Back then, the moss was supposedly being "driven extinct" by "air pollution". Twenty years later, they found that the cause was a disease, and the moss had made a full recovery. I get tired of people who pass along eco-rumors as fact, when in reality, they HAVE no facts---just speculation.

This has happened OVER, and OVER, and OVER. The eco-scares have gotten too numerous to list any more.

You have some issues you need to address emotionally. I think you should seek the help of a professional.

Also you don’t know the first thing about beekeeping so my specualtion into what is happening to the bees (as I deal with them each and every day) is a bit more valid than any speculation you may have.

Please seek help for your problems instead of attacking people here who are trying to discuss an actual serious problem in the beekeeping community. Or at least keep your mouth shut when you don’t know anything about what you are discussing.

I also want to address one more thing to you.

As eco scares go this one is real not like Global warming or some other nonsense. I saw the numbers yesterday and I believe that last year 2.5 million hives of bees died to what ever is happening.

That is a huge hit to the beekeeping industry. An industry that adds 50% to the value of all vegetable and fruit harvests in this country.

The real problem is that the MSM is focused on fake problems like Global warming and not real problems like this. Yes we get a story here or there but this is an actual problem not some pie in the sky nonsense.
