Another Missing Bee Article , Really Intersting Info : )Ping
Another key word in this article is "genetically modified".
Gen.1:11 And God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, whose seed is in itself upon the earth:" and it was so.
God doesn't approve of "hybrids" and much of our crops are now hybrids. Perhaps this is what the bee problem is all about. As one who plants a garden I know it is difficult to find things that aren't altered. I usually grow Brandywine tomatoes but my seedlings died this year so I bought plants from a nursery - all are hybrids. The seeds from these tomatoes will not produce others. The same with the corn. Here in the south the "Silver Queen" corn is mouth watering but it is probably a hybrid too.
As I have told you before there have not been any bees around my garden and flowers at all. I did see a bumble bee yesterday and his little legs were packed with pollen, but he was the only one I saw. I was shocked last week as I was weeding an area. I actually heard a buzzing. As the sound has been absent I really noticed it and tracked it down. There was one lone honey bee working in a patch of flowers. He is the first I have seen in two years. I'm being very careful to not use insecticides on anything. Maybe he is a sign that they are coming back.
Thank you for sending this ping. I think it is something we should be very concerned about.
