Bees Dying Off, Bee Truck Crashes and our Future...

"The nation's beekeepers have reported a loss of around 30 percent of their hives to CCD each year since 2006, and so more and more commercial bee colonies are being trucked cross-country from farm to farm to play the vital role of pollinating crops — especially nuts, berries, fruits and vegetables."

"It is a sign of how industrialized our agriculture has become that bees must be shipped like other resources, such as fertilizer. A bee truck carries as many as 800 hives of bees that are taken to various farms across the country and released to ensure that important crops are properly pollinated at exactly the right time so they can be ready for mechanical harvesting at the same time"

With there being so much importance in the role of bees and our lives, I would think that people would be taking better care with them. Considering "nation's beekeepers have reported a loss of around 30 percent of their hives to CCD each year since 2006".


Monsanto’s Harvest Of Fear
www.vanityfair.com...
"Monsanto already dominates America’s food chain with its genetically modified seeds. Now it has targeted milk production. Just as frightening as the corporation’s tactics–ruthless legal battles against small farmers–is its decades-long history of toxic contamination."

Many have proposed that much of the pesticides and toxic chemicals used in todays agriculture can be linked to the recent decline of population in the bee hives all around America.

If the bees keep disapearing, and all these trucks keep crashing, well I can only see that there would be one option left on the table, and that is basically being that we will need Monsanto genetically modified seeds in order to ensure the sustainability of our food.

I'm not going to go and outline the entire plausibility of there being a connection between Monsanto and Bees dying off, for that list could go on for ever in outlining previous tactics used by Monsanto, as well as outlining the motive Monsanto could plausibly have for doing such a thing.
Here's some information in regards to Monsanto, and some of the unethical practices....
www.ethicalinvesting.com...

If you were to search online, you can find endless amounts of information pertaining to 'conspiracies' in regards to Monsanto. I have personally not read very much on the topic, but from what I have.... it seems to me that there is much evidence to support many of the claims made against them.



I'm just throwing this out there, because I know there are a lot of great minds, and people that are willing to do this research on ATS. I would love to hear the opinions about this topic from those that do know a little something about it, for I like to learn more. Most of the information that there is out there, is only presented with extreme bias, so it would be nice to hear some of your opinions.

This all could be as simple as stating:
"That's right, every year in the early summer trucks carrying bees get on our highway and drive thousands of miles to take hundreds of hives of bees to visit various farms around the country. Inevitably, several of these trucks will be involved in dangerous and potentially fatal truck accidents."

But who knows... It would be feasible on some grand daddy of conspiracies that Monsanto were to intentionally increase the likely hood of their product being necessary for the sustainability of mankind...

It could just be the pressure of hauling 14 million angry bees that's making everyone wreck. Bees are an animal that's already not very common anymore, so if anything happens to them it's the corporation's fault.

I want to truely thank you for this thread and your information. It's pretty clear when you see the statistics. I know what a violation to humanity Monsanto is and this just fits the pieces together. They want to make people have to bye thier seed and Geo Engineered Food. The seeds they produce don't last but for the one season and kill off other seeds in any nearby area. The bees are the last line of defense for natural plats to be pollinated. Thx again stars and flags

S&F, MESSAGE,

Because as long as humans interfere with nature, nature will go wrong.

How would we like it if a giant picked up our entire house, with us inside, and took us somewhere we did not belong - bad enough, but then crashed?

I would say the bees are terrified, totally disorientated, and unable to perform their jobs.

Also entitled to sting the giants.

Nothing in nature can perform its true function if it is not in the correct environment.

So here is a thought, humans - why not stop interfering with nature?

Because nature can interfere with us on a huge scale.

I believe there is a disease that was started by monsanto that killed off a lot of bees. I also heard that it may of been something in rounduo that was doing major damage to the hive population. S&F

Wow first time i have heard about Monsanto being Connected to the bee die off.
Though it would not surprise me in the least if this was true.
Monsanto is a pretty nasty company.

reply to post by ELahrairah


Yes well The Bees are thier only competion. If the bees can't pollenate the plants i.e. fruits and vegetables etc then they will have us dependent on them. It wouldn't surprise me if they have recently or soon will have a seed that requires no pollenation..

I really stopped caring about monsanto and other s***y coorporations that are interested only to make lots of money.

When the time will come we will see that what we did was just to ensure our extinction for the sake of a system that is only ment to fail.

When the bees go extinct ... plants will go extinct .. then animals and finally we will go extinct thus mother nature will just reset everything and start over ...

Did I miss something? Monsanto engineered crops don't have to be(e) polinated?

Monsanto Announces New SoyBee'n Self-Pollinating Soy Bean!

Wednesday, October 12, 2011

"Late month, noted seed and biotech company Monsanto announced the purchase of Beelogics, a company with a product in trial that may help prevent colony collapse disorder in bees.*

In related news, Monsanto has successfully built bee DNA into insect-pollinated crops through genetic engineering. Though the technology is currently being trialed on a limited 3,000 acre planting of modified RoundUp Ready Soybeans called "SoyBee'ns", scientists are pleased with the success."

Yeah, I'd have to say you missed something.... Sorry for not placing that article in the original post.

Another interesting article pertaining to Monsanto.

Monsanto Exposed
www.bewellbuzz.com...

"Here’s what farmers normally do when they buy seeds for their crops. They plant them and then when they are done with the harvesting, they use the seeds produced by their own plants and reuse them for their next crop. With Monsanto’s GM seeds, however, what farmers get are sterile plants that cannot produce any more seeds, so in order to grow more crops, farmers have to continue to queue up before Monsanto and buy more of their seeds.

The genetic altering of seeds is not without its own set of dangers even though Monsanto claims otherwise under the guise of ‘increased pest and disease resistance’. Such GM seeds are more harmful than not, and after years of threats and protests, Monsanto came up with another ridiculously simple plan. Instead of altering the seeds genetically, they planned to make farmers sign contracts saying that they would buy seeds only from Monsanto and that they wouldn’t use the seeds produced by their crops. In effect, they succeeded in letting farmers exploit themselves by their own hands."

I'm not one for supporting all these 'conspiracy' theories, because they often lack a whole host of facts that support their claims. Yet, I somehow can't seem to completely write this one off as not being partially true. There's just waaaayy too much motive and coincidences. This is not to demonize all those that work for Monsantos, becasue I highly doubt their entire employee force is void of ethics. There's many convincing arguements that would support a claim that Monsanto would love to have their hands in the decline of Bee populations, for it would be one of the biggest money making opportunity any company has ever seen in the history of humanity. One could argue that position of number 1 is Tesla with Westinghouse, Edison, and JP Morgan..... Well we saw how that turned out.
