The Beepocalypse is Over

Powerline ^ | April 2, 2024 | John Hinderaker

[Iron Munro]

Not only does the federal government count every llama and bee colony, they somehow manage to count just about every other farm raised animal and fowl.

They have determined that at the time of the 2022 Census of Agriculture there were 1,737,674,957 chickens.

Not 1,737,674,956, not 1,737,674,958, but exactly 1,737,674,957 !!!

And we thought they were wasting all of our tax money on illegal aliens and financing both sides of hot wars around the globe...

[Iron Munro]

So, was any cause for the colony collapse ever discovered?

It must have been the need to push honey prices up.....

[bert]

I saw two honey bees this week. Honey bees have been absent for years now.

Somewhere near there is a colony that survived the winter.

My last colony died in 1990 something

[mewzilla]

Lack of genetic diversity is also an issue.

[Rummyfan]

Whew! I’m glad I can cross this off the worry list!

[Ezekiel]

Don't bee yourself up over it.

It's the kind of intel that comes out of left field.

[joe fonebone]

I had a friend that was a beekeeper.
I asked him about this, back when it was happening.
He said it was a joke, and the people spreading this crap did not know what they were talking about.
I believed him.
And the bee decimation people hated me.

[1Old Pro]

Another government lie.

Truly a case of fake news, the negative waves

of relentless colony collapse coverage and years of grieving suspiciously

Because who doesn't know that it all started with 13 colonies, and

We now have 3.8 million, the census shows.

[logi_cal869]

Yup. My sentiment exactly. More gaslighting.

[logi_cal869]

[Hot Tabasco]

Wow, that was amazing

[Hot Tabasco]

what annoys me is that people in this region call yellowjackets bees.

Doesn't bother me a bit.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Every scare for the last 60 years the elites have “assumed it was somehow our fault.”
Greenhouse Effect
Coming ice age,
Global warming
PCBs
Dioxin
magnetic fields of force causing cancer
DDT
Radon
loss of Prairie dogs
Loss of Polar bears
Killer Bees
death of bees
Murder wasps
Kudzu.
Weed killers

And the list goes on and on and on.

And what happened to all the deaf frog stories? They were a sign of an eco apocalypse

[Jamestown1630]

I thought some of it was due to parasites.

[Albion Wilde]

I once had a stunningly intelligent encounter with a bee. I was sitting outdoors with a tumbler of apple juice on the wrought iron patio table in front of me. A bee dipped down into the tumbler to drink from the juice. One wing got wet, and suddenly he could not free himself to fly up. As he flapped around with his one free wing, he started to come close to sinking and drowning .

I picked up a large dried leaf from the table by the stem end, carefully scooped the bee up out of the juice.

He shook himself and flew upwards in the away direction, but then paused in the air, flew back to face me at eye level, and seesawed his wings side to side for an instant, then turned and flew off. It was clear as day, a “thank you” gesture.

[Albion Wilde]

How many are left after they have burned down several of the chicken farms?
