It's past time to shut down Monsanto
and deport the foreign agents !!!!!! The people need to take all they have and
sell it to recover for the harm they are still doing to HUMANITY and OUR PLANET

Scientists Discover Fungicide and Pesticide are Killing Bees―and It's
Worse Than You Thought
Vatic Note: I find it amazing just how prescient our foreign occupied,
Homeland Security is. It has been over the past 3 to 4 years that
they have been screaming bloody murder about famine coming, and riots over
food, and how they have to stock up on ammo, military equipment, etc etc
etc. You get the drift. Fear fear fear that they
created. Where were the agricorps whose crops are being affected by
this? Not a peep out of them. They all seem to be doing well
financially feeding us toxins? I bet they get their money from the
chemical companies.
Its the small real farmer, producing "real" food, that is being harmed by this and has been sounding the alarm and no one, until now, has paid any attention. Meanwhile, as Haarp induced floods, droughts, earthquakes, sinkholes, massive fires that are weird per the fire fighters, are added to this below, our small farmer is disappearing, leaving us with the GMO supporting agricorps that have no clue how to grow and tender "healthy NON GMO" food that will strengthen and sustain us.
Is this just another piece of the overall mass depopulation plan on the drawing board since before 1974 when the Georgia guidestones were put up by the very wealthy "LUCIFERIAN" society? I wonder how many agricorps are represented at the Bilderberg Group? I bet that would be a good rabbit hole to go down. I bet I know what we would find.....

The chemical Co owners
pretending to be regular business people just trying to make a buck, when in
fact, most of those chemical companies are owned by the ILLUMINATI FAMILIES....
dupont, I.G. Farban, Monsanto, who ranks among the worst and now they are seriously, feloniously
responsible for the possible genocide of a whole species and worse, they would
have known about it. No wonder ELF WENT AFTER THEM SO VICIOUSLY. But not
vicious enough it appears.

Bee populations are dwindling across
the globe, putting one in three food crops like apples and almonds, which
depend on pollination from bees, at serious risk.
In the US, beekeepers have reported
annual losses of about 33 percent of their hives each year, a level of loss
that the Agricultural Research Services reports could threaten the economic
viability of the bee pollination industry if it continues1
(and some beekeepers report much higher losses than this at upwards of 70 or,
in some cases, 100 percent).
Despite the growing losses, the
causes of the massive bee die-offs have yet to be firmly defined, although
accumulating research is pointing to a cocktail of agricultural chemicals as a
likely primary culprit.
New
Study: Fungicides May Be Killing Bees
Systemic neonicotinoid pesticides
have been increasingly blamed for bee deaths (and were implicated in a recent
mass bee die-off of 25,000 bumblebees along with millions of bee deaths in Canada), prompting
the European Union (EU) to ban them for two years.
Now, it appears measures that target
single classes of pesticides, though a move in the right direction, may be
falling short. In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers analyzed pollen from
bee hives in seven major crops and found 35 different pesticides along
with high fungicide loads.2
Each sample contained, on average, nine different pesticides and fungicides,
although one contained 21 different chemicals.
Furthermore, when the pollen was fed
to healthy bees, they had a significant decline in the ability to resist
infection with the Nosema ceranae parasite, which has been implicated in
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).
What makes the research particularly
unique is the concerning data on fungicides, which has so far been assumed to
be safe for bees. While farmers are advised to avoid spraying pesticides when
bees are present, for instance, fungicides contain no such warnings.
The researchers explained:
The researchers explained:
“While fungicides are
typically seen as fairly safe for honey bees, we found an increased probability
of Nosema infection in bees that consumed pollen with a higher fungicide load.
Our results highlight a need for research on sub-lethal effects of fungicides
and other chemicals that bees placed in an agricultural setting are exposed
to.”
Also concerning, the researchers
found that the bees in the study collected pollen almost exclusively from weeds
and wildflowers, and this, too, was contaminated with pesticides even though
they were not directly sprayed.
“It’s not clear
whether the pesticides are drifting over to those plants but we need take a new
look at agricultural spraying practices,”
the study’s lead author told Quartz.3
US
Bill Introduced to Take Neonicotinoids Off the Market
Following the June incident that killed 25,000 bumblebees,
the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) announced that they were restricting
the use of 18 pesticide products containing dinotefuran,
a type of neonicotinoid.
These chemicals are typically
applied to seeds before planting, allowing the pesticide to be taken up through
the plant’s vascular system as it grows. As a result, the chemical is expressed
in the pollen and nectar of the plant, and hence the danger to bees and other
pollinating insects.
As mentioned, the EU has also banned
these pesticides, beginning December 1, 2013, to study their involvement with
large bee kills they, too, are experiencing.
To date, however, the US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has failed to take action and has already
been sued once by beekeepers and environmental groups for failing to protect bees from neonicotinoid
pesticides. (VN: of course they have failed to do anything, they
are part of the felonious revolving door between the chemical/agricorp industry
and the regulating industry. Its a crime, but no prosecution, no exec
branch enforcement of the crimes occurring, and yet they will shoot an unarmed
old man for spitting on the sidewalk. I am disgusted.)
They have also green-lighted another pesticide that is a close cousin to these toxic chemicals (sulfoxaflor) and, as a result, several beekeeping organizations and beekeepers have filed a legal action against the EPA for approving sulfoxaflor, which is considered by many to be a "fourth-generation" neonicotinoid.

In the US, the tide may be turning,
however, as just last month the “Save America’s
Pollinators Act” was introduced. If passed, this bill, HR 2692,
would require the EPA to pull neonicotinoid pesticides from the
market until their safety is proven. Please contact your representative today
to voice your support for this incredibly important issue. (VN: It may
also be turning because food patriots are out in force burning GMO killer
crops. Yahoo, give them the medal of Freedom. If Satantically
baptized magog Bush Sr can be given such a medal for doing mayhem and murder,
than why not the ELF like groups burning sugar beet crops. We need more
such courageous young people).
US
Almond Crops Are Already At Risk
We’re beginning to get a taste of
what the world would be like without bees. This year, many of the 6,000 almond
orchard owners in California simply could not find enough bees to pollinate their almond trees,
at any price.
This is alarming, considering that
80 percent of the world’s almonds come from California’s central valley, an
800,000-acre area of almond orchards that are 100 percent dependent on bees
pollinating the trees. Surprisingly, almonds are the number one agricultural
product in California.
Fortunately, unsurpassed efforts
that included persuading beekeepers as far away as Florida to ship their bees
cross country, delayed bloom, and unseasonably good weather thereafter allowed
almond growers to dodge the bullet – this year – despite having fewer
and weaker-than-ever hives...
This narrowly achieved success may
lead some to reach the mistaken conclusion that beekeepers’ concerns are
overblown, but don’t be fooled. One beekeeper went so far as to say he believes
the beekeeper industry is doomed and cannot survive for more than another two
to three years unless drastic changes are implemented immediately...
What
Are Some of the Top Theories for Bee Die-Offs?
Environmental chemicals are a
forerunner for what’s causing so many bees to die, but it’s likely that there
are multiple factors at play here. Among the top proposed culprits include:
- Pesticides,
insecticides and fungicides –
Neonicotinoids, such as Imidacloprid and Clothianidin, kills insects by
attacking their nervous systems. These are known to get into pollen and
nectar, and can damage beneficial insects such as bees.
- Malnutrition/Nutritional
deficiencies – Many beekeepers place the
hives near fields of identical crops, which may result in malnutrition as
the bees are only getting one type of nectar. Essentially, this theory is
identical to that of human nutrition; we need a wide variety of nutrients
from different foods.
If you keep
eating the same limited range of foods, you can easily end up suffering from
nutritional deficiencies. Poor nutrition suppresses immune function, making the
bees far more susceptible to toxins from pesticides, viruses, fungi, or a
combination of factors that ultimately kill them.
- Viruses
and fungi – There's even the possibility
that some new form of "AIDS-like" viral infection is affecting
the bees.
- Electromagnetic
fields (EMFs) – Researchers have discovered
that when a cellular phone is placed near a hive, the radiation generated
by it (900-1,800 MHz) is enough to prevent bees from returning to them,
according to a study conducted at Landau University several years ago.4
More recently, a
study published in 2011 found that the presence of microwaves from cell phones
have a dramatic effect on bees, causing them to become quite disturbed.5
- Lack
of natural foraging areas – Mass conversions of grasslands to corn and soy
in the Midwest has dramatically reduced bees’ natural foraging
areas.
- Genetically
modified (GM) crops – In 2007, a German
study demonstrated that horizontal gene transfer appears to take
place between the GM crop and the bees that feed on it.6
When bees were released in a field of genetically modified rapeseed, and
then fed the pollen to younger bees, the scientists discovered the
bacteria in the guts of the young ones mirrored the same genetic traits as
ones found in the GM crop.
You
Can Start Helping Bees Right in Your Own Backyard
The Pollinator Partnership has
revealed many ways you can help the urgent issue of declining pollinator
populations.7
Clearly major steps need to be taken on a national level to protect pollinators
from toxic chemicals and other threats, and you can help in this regard by
supporting the Save America’s Pollinators Act.
Friends of the Earth has also
launched the Bee-Action Campaign to tell stores to take bee-killing pesticides
like neonicotinoids off of their shelves, and you can help by signing their petition now.
That said, you can even make a difference
right in your own backyard:
- Reduce or
eliminate your use of pesticides
- Plant a
pollinator-friendly garden by choosing a variety of plants that will
continue flowering from spring through fall; check out the Bee
Smart Pollinator App for a database of nearly 1,000
pollinator-friendly plants
- Choose
plants native to your region and stick with old-fashioned varieties, which
have the best blooms, fragrance and nectar/pollen for attracting and
feeding pollinators
- Install a bee house
