EDITORS: Bees dying world wide may be THE story of the End Times. It should be promoted constantly for a while. A call to action.
I do not believe I'm exaggerating. You decide.

The bee thing is serious and it's not getting nearly as much attention as the SARS thing. I guess it'll get a lot of attention - when it's too late.
Studies have shown that bees are not dying in the hive, something is causing them to lose their sense of orientation so that they cannot return to the hive.
A new study suggests that birds use the Earth's magnetic field to plan dining locations along their migration route. These culinary stopovers are critical to the success of the migration because, according to a second study, the fatter the bird, the more efficiently it is able to fly.
And they all had plenty of stores (of honey) left. And a phenomenon that we can’t understand is that they don’t appear to be robbed out by other bees.

if this was a magnetic shift, why are predators and other bees leaving the abandoned honey stocks alone?
[edit on 10.4.2007 by Long Lance]
Normally, when a hive is deserted, robber bees from other colonies come and take the stored honey away. They would much rather get it from there than go looking in flowers. But for some reason this year, it hasn’t happened.
