No ORGANIC Bee losses - Bees Immune Systems Damaged

[Guest guest]

" In the Australian story researchers have dissected bees that have died and

they have found that their immune systems have " totally gone to pieces " . " It is

like they just lost their immune system and anything will kill them " . "

 

Thanks to David Yeo and Martin Weatherall for sending these most interesting

links. Like humans and other factory farmed animals which are continually

being subjected to poor nutrition

(imagine the quality of honey from the

glucose/corn syrup feeds) including GE rubbish

ood_products_are_a_no_no.htm

, abuse and EMF* and chemical toxicities, the bees are reaching their

tolerance. The sad part is that all these insults are known factors, yet as

usual

nothing will happen until major losses occur. And we call ourselves an

intelligent species???

No ORGANIC Bee losses

Received from Lancifer | redicecreations.com http://redicecreations.com/

I am quite involved with many alternative agriculture groups, and I received

this email from a trusted friend...you might want to check it out for your

news section...

 

" Sharon Labchuk is a longtime environmental activist and part-time organic

beekeeper from Prince Edward Island. She has twice run for a seat in Ottawa's

House of Commons, making strong showings around 5% for Canada's fledgling Green

Party. She is also leader of the provincial wing of her party. In a widely

circulated email, she wrote:

 

I'm on an organic beekeeping list of about 1,000 people, mostly Americans,

and no one in the organic beekeeping world, including commercial beekeepers, is

reporting colony collapse on this list. The problem with the big commercial

guys is that they put pesticides in their hives to fumigate for varroa mites,

and they feed antibiotics to the bees. They also haul the hives by truck all

over the place to make more money with pollination services, which stresses the

colonies.

 

Her email recommends a visit to the Bush Bees Web site at Here

http://bushfarms.com/bees.htm , Michael Bush felt compelled to put a message to

the

beekeeping world right on the top page:

 

Most of us beekeepers are fighting with the Varroa mites. I'm happy to say my

biggest problems are things like trying to get nucs through the winter and

coming up with hives that won't hurt my back from lifting or better ways to feed

the bees.

 

This change from fighting the mites is mostly because I've gone to natural

sized cells. In case you weren't aware, and I wasn't for a long time, the

foundation in common usage results in much larger bees than what you would find

in a

natural hive. I've measured sections of natural worker brood comb that are

4.6mm in diameter. What most people use for worker brood is foundation that is

5.4mm in diameter. If you translate that into three dimensions instead of one,

it produces a bee that is about half as large again as is natural. By letting

the bees build natural sized cells, I have virtually eliminated my Varroa and

Tracheal mite problems. One cause of this is shorter capping times by one day,

and shorter post-capping times by one day. This means less Varroa get into

the cells, and less Varroa reproduce in the cells.

 

Who should be surprised that the major media reports forget to tell us that

the dying bees are actually hyper-bred varieties that we coax into a larger

than normal body size? It sounds just like the beef industry. And, have we here

a

solution to the vanishing bee problem? Is it one that the CCD Working Group,

or indeed, the scientific world at large, will support? Will media coverage

affect government action in dealing with this issue?

 

These are important questions to ask. It is not an uncommonly held opinion

that, although this new pattern of bee colony collapse seems to have struck from

out of the blue (which suggests a triggering agent), it is likely that some

biological limit in the bees has been crossed. There is no shortage of evidence

that we have been fast approaching this limit for some time.

 

We've been pushing them too hard, Dr. Peter Kevan, an associate professor of

environmental biology at the University of Guelph in Ontario, told the CBC.

And we're starving them out by feeding them artificially and moving them great

distances. Given the stress commercial bees are under, Kevan suggests CCD might

be caused by parasitic mites, or long cold winters, or long wet springs, or

pesticides, or genetically modified crops. Maybe it's all of the above...

Ecological Apocalypse: Why Are All The Bees Dying?

 

------------------------------

 

*Hi All

 

Here are another three interesting stories about honey bees dying or

vanishing. 

 

In the Australian story researchers have dissected bees that have died and

they have found that their immune systems have " totally gone to pieces " .  " It is

like they just lost their immune system and anything will kill them " .

 

For anyone who has looked at the evidence of human cancer cases (and pets)

around cell phone antenna and strong sources of electromagnetic radiation, this

will not be a surprise.  There is evidence of DNA damage, cell damage and

changes in blood composition etc. from EMR.  I have strong reasons to believe

that

it was exposure to high levels of EMR that compromised my own immune system,

made me ill and caused me to develop prostate cancer.  Damage to the human

and  animal immune systems, by EMR, has been shown by much research.  I have

little doubt that the immune systems of bees can be damaged by EMR.

 

It is interesting that honey bees in Australia are not being harmed as they

are in California.  I would place a bet that the environment in California has

far higher levels of electro magnetic radiation than found in most of

Australia.

 

The second article is about - " Taiwan, the latest country stung by vanishing

honey bees " .  This is interesting because several months ago there was a news

story from Taiwan which stated a large number of citizens were suffering from

the effects of electro magnetic radiation and many antenna masts were being

removed.  There has been widespread debate in Taiwan about EMR, and the removal

of base stations.

 

The third story is about GM modified foods and their possible influence on

bees.

 

Martin.

[Guest guest]

Here is another piece of the puzzle regarding the disappearance of the

Honey Bees!

 

I sometimes wonder if we humans(and specially the children of the

Industrial revolution) by our constant manipulation of the the " natural "

world in order to implement our insane delusion that more and faster is

always better, are not heading in the same direction as the artificially

designed large bees described in this report. All we need to do is to

look at how quickly puberty arrives and yet our children seem to take

forever to truly mature and become independent; at how our appetites are

instantly satisfied by all types of " convenience " food, yet obesity(with

hidden malnutrition) is rampant these days; Yes, people are generally

taller, but osteoporosis, malocclusions, joint diseases are pandemic

too; Artificial lighting, television and computers have stretched out

our circadian rhythm in the direction of wakeful activity, yet we've

paid the price of an imbalanced immune system, mental illness, etc. etc.

 

The disappearing bees could very well be the canary in the mine,

foretelling our future. We may be approaching the trigger point where

all the stressors of modern life will have finally coalesced to kick our

proud homo matericus ass over the edge of a biological precipice. And

the meek shall inherit the earth!
