I happen to actually know what you are talking about. But I'm guessing I'm only one of a handful. How about you clarify what this thread is about. Please?

Explain your reasoning behind that.

Honey bees are pollenators and if they die out, there will be no pollenators left, which means angiosperms will cease to exist. Angiosperms are flowers and plants and there are many herbivores. Mountain goats, cows, etc, will all die out. Sooner or later, it's going to get to us.

I've read about this, its some sort of thing called the Colonary Collapse Disorder and its being caused by air pollution and greenhouse gases. Pesticides, all that shit.

Bees are not the only pollenators.

Blood fruit, bees are the majourity of pollinators.

Every one quick read the book "Death of Grass". If you can find it you might just survive.

Seriously though, I haven't sen a single bee through Spring and Summer. Nor one during Autumn, which is really weird as we have this weird vine in my back yard which normally is filled with bees. None this season though :[
