declining bees are the second biggest fraudulent headline next to global warming
Exactly. Bees are doing just fine.
No the bee population is declining. Probably due to products like round-up and GMO’s. Thanks Monsanto!
Been gardening for nearly 20 years and the last two years I have not seen a SINGLE honeybee. Not one for 2 years. Absolutely terrifying to me.
Bumblebees are still doing well but they dont like the same plants honeybees do. I’ve had to use a brush this year to manually pollinate plants that I used to not have to.
Whatever the cause, they are definitely disappearing and this will cause serious issues on large farms.
The bees here in Texas have been acting weird for a decade or more. Instead of doing what bees usually do... they have become scavengers of trash. Every open trashcan and picnic table area in the state is swarming with them.
Ya beat me to it. You are 100% correct.
Don’t know where you are, but I didn’t see one honey bee here in MI this last year.
They were down the year before but seemed to be enough wild, native bee around to pick up the slack but this past even the wild ones were down.
I live in the woods a ways away from farms so not sure what’s going on.
This winter, also, the birds coming t feeders around here are way down also.
