A FOOD CHAIN RELEASE FROM METROFARM.COM

We know what happens with the birds and the bees. But it is the Spring of dying bees, and this leads us to ask, “What happens when there are no bees?”

This Saturday morning at 9am Pacific, the Food Chain with Michael Olson hosts Professors Eric Mussen from the University of California, Davis, and Jim Amrine from West Virginia University for a conversation about dying bees.

Log on www.metrofarm.com to listen on your radio, computer or IPOD.

Topics include why bees are dying in such big numbers this Spring; what might happen to the food chain should we lose our bees; and what solutions might there be to halt the die-off.

Question of the Week: What happens if we lose our bees?

Thanks for the ping. Listening now.

Heh heh... listening to a commercial about a cattle auction. We don't get those out here in Mexifornistan.
Can almost smell the cash on the hoof. :-)

I still think Imidacloprid is a good candidate.

Hmmm, they certainly ended the show on a down note. Time to check the stocks of beans and bullets. :-)

A few conspiracy oriented callers citing chem trails, Globalists, etc. Not big on conspiracy theory myself.
I think greed and stupidity causes most of our problems and there seems to be plenty of both in the genetic agriculture business.

This website was mentioned several times:

After a short review, I'd advise caution.

Looks like they are catering to the Art Bell audience. Some science mixed in with science fiction, unsupported speculation and mis/disinformation.
