Your thoughts about Global Warming CO2 levels vs. American IQ levels. IQs in America are exactly tracking in reverse the increase in atmospheric Carbon Dioxide.

If you are saying that IQ levels in America are declining at the rate the Co2 levels are rising in the atmosphere...than I must agree.

Maybe they are being bugged by the government.

Chemtrails.... pesticides and... closer understanding their disappearance or death.

Chemtrails may not be the sole cause, but it would be naive to think that it isn''t a factor. Combine that with the pesticides and other environmental factors, then we may have a closer understanding as to what is causing their disappearance or death. One thing is for sure this is something we must take very seriously.

C''mon CBS, surely you guys have heard of this. If not do what it says, educate yourself. Thank you Steve Kroft for reporting on this phenomenon. Maybe when we no longer have any produce in the grocery stores people will wake up. Of course all the government will do is buy contaminated food from China and third world countries that has DDT, lead, and other pesticides already illegal in our own country.

I think we probably need to take this seriously.

First There is no such thing in the US as orgnaic beekeepers because there is no standardized testing of the honey in the US.
Second I heartily congratulate CBS on the finest show about the loss of bees that I have seen. Finally the media has the courage to address Bayer Crop Science and their neonicotinoids See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_XnvZAcM0U
Illinois had 1.5% use of neonics and has no loss. New York, California and Florida have over 45% use and massive losses. It is in the soil 2 years and kills ALL bugs except spider mites.
We must use common sense and not use what is KNOWN TO BE HIGHLY TOXIC TO HONEY BEES-neonicotinoids. We do not have the luxury of time as suggestd by Dr. Pettit.
Congratulations on your courage CBS and excellent investigative journalism.

Certainly, traveling bees will be more likely to spread disease that those staying in one place. These bees are more likely to acquire diseases vis-a-vis their promiscuous wanderings, and they are more likely to infect other hives for the same reason. Couple that with rampant uncontrolled use of pesticides - including "insect specific" biological control agents, (e.g. for killer bees) and there should be no wonder why the bees are disappearing. Take a look at Bacillus Thuringiensis. Why wouldn''t some biological control product like this harm bees? It is designed for fire-ants, but how different are these insects to these kinds of products?

Perhaps the government could start by setting-up local bee farms and restricting travel of worker insects by state.

If we are going to alter nature, at least, let''s try to limit the damage a procedure might cause. Using one bee population all over the country seems as uncritical as using one needle to inoculate the whole population.

CHEMTRAILS, CHEMTRAILS, CHEMTRAILS. NOT contrails left by jets which dissipate. CHEMICAL TRAILS left in the sky by our government. search for the truth and you will find it. It''s not just the bee''s, it''s effecting humans also. Post this if you dare. everyone has seen them lately. These trails go from one end of the sky to the other. They do not dissappear like a condensation trail does. These trails hang in the sky and spread out until they meet all of the other chemical trails left that day. Then you turn on the news and watch the weather, and the meteorologist calls them sirus clouds. He knows the truth. When you get in your car at the end of the day and notice that real fine weblike dry mist on the wind shield of your vehicle, CHEMTRAILS, CHEMTRAILS, CHEMTRAILS. Those were the ones that didn''t find their way into your lungs, OR YOUR BEE''s.

HONEY BEES DISSAPEARENCE:
WE WERE ON THE LAKE IN OUR BOAT IN THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER OF 2007, AND WE NOTICED THAT EVERY SQUARE INCH OF THE LAKE WAS COVERED WITH HONEY BEES.
THIS MAY COINSIDE WITH A PREVIOUS ARTICLE ABOUT THE BEES LOOKING FOR WATER.
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE PESTISIDES ARE MAKING THE BEES THURSTY AND THEY ARE DROWNING IN OUR LAKES?

It strikes me that there is a gaping hole in your coverage of the possible pesticide issue in relation to the disappearance of the bees. You tell us that France partially banned the use of neonicotinoids in 1999. Has there been an observable effect upon the success of bee populations as a result of the partial ban? It would be helpful if you were to report this aspect of the story fully, instead of only half way.

Here is the reason, plain & simple:
Revelation 6:6 "I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day''s pay or three quarts of barley for a day''s pay. But do not damage the olive oil and the wine."

The only thing which precedes this is DECEPTION. Deception is over us now: our election system is a fraud. Our government is controlled. Museums (owned almost exclusively by rich Satanists) hide important fossil evidence (e.g. giants like Goliath) The textbook companies are owned by another secret society family, the Hearsts. Three times the Bible mentions the white horse. Twice, the seer is in Heaven, and sees the white horse ride out FIRST. The third incident shows the white horse THIRD. On earth, the deception is not seen until after war and famine.

want to save the bees (and our food supply)? STOP SUPPORTING multi-national corporations !

1) CANCEL YOUR CABLE / SATTELITE TV: let the corporate media moguls (and their advertisers) know that you will no longer pay for their propaganda.

2) STOP INVESTING YOUR MONEY ON WALL ("WAR") STREET: corporate America is selling out the middle class to the lowest global bidder and using our own money to do it; the financial markets will push for anything that increases profits - especially war .. invest your money in land, real estate, gold and silver.

3) SUPPORT LOCAL ECONOMIES !
- Buy from local manufacturers, local retailers, local craftspeople/artisans, etc.
- if possible, BURN WOOD for heat;
- support local ORGANIC growers or grow some of your own food;
- implement alternative energy sources (solar, hybrid autos etc ..)
- develop local means of commerce not based on the failing US dollar.

4) AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE BEGINS WITH YOU - healthy eating habits and exercise will create less demand on the system meaning lower costs. You%u2019ll have plenty of time to work out once you UNPLUG THE TV DRUG.

5) STOP UNNECESSARY CONSUMPTION & STOP USING YOUR CREDIT CARD !

6) DECENTRALIZE ! - the global economy is nothing more than a ploy to centralize power, control and wealth into the hands of an elite few - blinded by misinformation, the American people are buying right into it - the rich get richer and the middle class is quickly becoming the working poor.
