BEES, HIVE COLLAPSE AND NEONICOTINOID POISONING
http://www.institut-fuer-bienenkunde.de/_Bienenkunde/images/default/Iwasa_Mechanism%20for%20the%20differential%20toxicity%20of%20neonicotinoid%20insecticides%20in%20the%20honey%20bee.pdf
This morning I woke up at about 2:30 a.m. listening to George Noory's program, Coast-to-Coast, maybe because I heard the word "bees". A woman was speaking - a reporter - saying that five years ago she wrote about nicotine poisoning of bees where they were dead or disappearing completely - that was the beginnings of hive collapse.
In Germany they lost more than half the hives, and the culprit seemed to be this nicotine-based pesticide that Bayer patented and produced. Corn is drilled into the soil on large farms, and the seed is covered in this pesticide. The particulate matter was drifting into adjacent canola fields and the bees were dying.
You know that if the bees and other pollinators die off, there will be no food. There will be no grasses, no grains, thus, no beef, no poultry or fowl. There will be no birds, no insects and eventually NO US.
So now we need to bring this front and center for public discourse, making sure your county and state doesn't use this pesticide for spraying and the USDA prohibits the use in this country just like they did DDT.
If you Google the name of this pesticide and bees or hive collapse and this pesticide, you will be convinced.
Please do.

RED ALERT: USDA ADMITS POISONING MILLIONS OF BIRDS - THIS IS WHAT THE MASS DIE OFFS OF BIRDS AND OTHER ANIMALS IS ALL ABOUT. READ THE LINKS.

Dear NaturalNews readers,
It's absolutely shocking news: The U.S. Department of Agriculture has publicly admitted it is responsible for the mass poisoning of tens of millions of birds over the last several years.
It's all part of the

HONEYBEES AND THE PESTICIDE CLOTHIANIDIN - HAS THE EPA BEEN KEEPING THE EFFECTS ON HONEYBEES A SECRET?
TIME TO START ASKING A LOT OF QUESTIONS!
There is a petition from the CREDO folks to urge the EPA to "come clean".
This is a great concern for me. This is what I wrote to friends today:
This is an email I got this morning. I wouldn't normally send this to you but there were almost NO honeybees seen in this yard or on my walks all year, and there were very few butterflies. So few of each, no flower wasps at all, and not even carpenter bees. All my flowers were devoid of life, and along the roadside the county mowed so viciously that none were available to migrating butterflies, either. In the evening, when the porch light at the back door is on, in other years the house wall was covered in moths and other night flying insects. I am in and out all the time at night with the dogs. There were not enough moths (and I'm always checking with my camera) to count on my two hands.
In the past, I have stood in wild morning glories that grew on the fence and watched year after year at 10:30 a.m., the swarm of common sulfur butterflies come from the north of the circle to nectar in them - so many one morning that I could hear the sound of their wings clapping closed - something I will never forget. Standing knee deep in Bidens alba with so many wasps, bees and butterflies that my camera got warm in my hands from the shutter working. I have the pictures to prove this. But not last year.
The combination of pesticide and mowing , if this is so, is deadly and these are the pollinators who provide us with sustenance - our food. So I'm sending you this hoping you will sign this petition. Maybe it will help, maybe not.
Dear Friend,
Since 2006, U.S. honey bee populations have been in precipitous decline,
with some estimates suggesting losses as high as 30% per year. While
that's terrible, the problem is far greater than just the loss of a
species. Without bees, our food supply is in serious danger. Pollination
by honey bees is key in cultivating the crops that produce a full
one-third of our food.
A recently leaked memo suggests the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
has ignored the science linking the pesticide clothianidin to the bee
die-off.
Sign the petition to E.P.A. Administrator Lisa Jackson today demanding an
immediate ban and full scientific review of this pesticide:
