Through my experience and reading records of other beekeepers, a 33% loss is rather consistent and was not the case even ten years ago. For the most part, the failure of colonies is due to varroa mites which were not in North America until the late 1980’s. The pesticides contribute to the failure of colonies.

Remember, bees are insects and pesticides kill insects.

I’m will not doubt the probability of there being a honey bee shortage of sorts. Where we live the kept bees have doubled in 5 years.

But the point I’m trying to make is it appears the enviro whackos and a government is pushing this which automatically puts up multiple red flags which was why I mentioned the boy that cried wolf.

Some of the research I quickly did shows more than a couple sources that simply doubt there is a bee problem for the same reason I doubt it which is because the left is pushing it.

The damage that the left is doing when something real appears is to cause people to automatically disbelieve it.

The selling point of GMOs is that the enable farmers to use less pesticide.
