Bees must pollinate about a third of the fruits and vegetables humans eat. No bees, no crops.

The enviro-wackos have cried "Wolf" over nothing so many times, a whole lot of people take this story with a grain of salt.

Unfortunately, this appears to be the real deal. And nobody seems to know what's causing the die-offs.

It's not just commercial or "domesticated" bees, either; it's wild bee colonies, too.

We don't have hives, and last year & the year before we saw very few wild bees around the fruit trees & flowering bushes. Etomologists later confirmed that wild colonies were rapidly disappearing throughtout our area.

You make a really good point.

The way "things" go in our country now EVERYTHING has become libs vs conservatives.

This seems to be something that could seriously affect us all.
