Comments on: What's Wrong With The Bees?

Steve Kroft Reports On The Mysterious Disappearance Of Bees

[lawyertom1]

It would appear, based on the best science, that the colony collapse syndrone started when the US allowed bees to be imported from Australia without the usual precautions. As a result, a least one, and possibly more, serious viruses made it through and are now destroying bee colonies nationwide. Once again, your government at work. We reduce the budgets of FDA, USDA, Customs, etc. etc., and we get contaminated food, contaminated toys, and bee viruses that impact entire major sectors of the agricultural segment of the economy. Once again, the philosophy of the far right proves to be idiotic when applied to the real world. Time to expand the capabilities of our guardians.

"Most of the people in this country have no idea what it takes to put the food on their table."

Are we still talking about the bees, or is this another reference to illegal aliens working in the fields.

Just to clarify CBS,

Re: "Colony Collapse Jeopardizing Beekeepers"

If the bees disappear, they won''t be the only colonies to collapse. Will we invite a flood of Mexicans to come and pollenate our flowers for us?

Some researchers suspect cell phone proliferation as a cause for this phenomenon.

Others cite a possible link to the Franken-foods owned by argri-terrorist organizations like Monsanto.

Re: ""I think the problem is complicated," says Jeffrey Pettis, who is leading the efforts for the Department of Agriculture. "I don''t think it''s going to come down to a single factor. We''re not going to be able to pin all of these losses on either one factor or even maybe one combination of factors."

What an idiotic statement. Is it not possible to include an infinate number of factors into 1 combination?

Heckuva'' job!

Very serious problem. I hope they figure it out - the little guys work very hard for us, after all.
