No the bee population is declining. Probably due to products like round-up and GMO’s. Thanks Monsanto!
The declining bees are non-natives to the Americas and have always had to have their populations artificially managed.
“Probably due to products like round-up and GMO’s. Thanks Monsanto!”
Monsanto is one of a dozen companies which produce glyphosate (roundup) in one form or another worldwide.
The topic of bee deaths due to this chemical is hotly debated, however, there is no study which makes that conclusion. Most of the blather is circumstantial. Actual bee deaths like the one in Oregon people go on about was not caused by glyphosate, but by another product sprayed on blooming trees. The label said not to spray blooming trees, but the operator ignored the label - that is a criminal offense, punishments vary by state.
