CCD is the term often used to describe the
inexplicable mass die-off of honeybees around the world, which typically
involves honeybees leaving their hives and, for whatever reason, never finding
their way back home. Mass die-offs associated with CCD often occur at seemingly
random locations around the world, and typically involve a gradual process of
disappearance and eventual colony collapse — and the dead bees are typically
nowhere to be found.

But the recent Florida event involved hundreds of
colonies from 30 different sites in a one-and-a-half mile radius literally
dropping dead all at the same time and leaving their carcasses behind, which is
why authorities have dismissed CCD as the cause. Based on the appearance of the
dead bees, as well as the synchronous timing of their deaths, pesticide
sprayings appear to be the culprit in this case.

“I’m a pretty tough guy,
but it is heart wrenching,” said Charles Smith of Smith Family Honey Company to
News 13 in Orlando. His family’s company lost an estimated $150,000 worth of
bees in the recent die-off. “Not only is it a monetary loss here, but we work
really hard on these bees to keep them in good health.”

The Florida
die-off coincides with a recent county-wide mosquito eradication effort, during
which helicopters flew over various parts of the county and sprayed airborne
pesticides. Officials, of course, deny that this taxpayer-funded spraying
initiative had anything to do with the bee genocide, though.

“The fact
that it was so widespread and so rapid, I think you can pretty much rule out
disease,” said Bill Kern, an entomologist from the University of Florida (UF) to
Florida Today. “It happened essentially almost in one day. Usually
diseases affect adults or the brood, you don’t have something that kills them
both.”

Many of the beekeepers who lost their hives in the mass killing
raised their bees to sell to American farmers, who then used them to pollinate
food crops. Because of their massive losses, many of these beekeepers could end
up losing their entire beekeeping businesses.

   I recently saw an interview with David Icke, on this blog I think, where he talked about the enslaved scientist who’d developed technology that he then observed the US govt misusing to kill masses of Ethiopians, leaving apparently no trace of the murder weapon. Doesn’t it seem likely that “tests” of this weaponry are responsible for all the recent mass die-offs of various species?

   Hi AnnP.

   there are to many links to round-up and monsanto from dead bats to bees,

   if you type round up killing, or monsanto food control into scroogle, or google if you want to be bagged and tagged you will find out the facts and figures you need.

   monsanto crops do not need bees and butterflies they are self fertile but do not produce seeds you can grow for the next years crop.

   whoever controls food and water has the power to starve or feed the world.

   dave icke, great on history to a point, but a man who also is associated with lizard men and women, who once said on wogan he was jesus, the clip is on you tube, its not made up, i saw it when it was broadcast.

   a millionaire now, if he was a danger to the system he would have met with an accident or something a long time ago, as did bill cooper.

   we know of haarp and such, but as laura keeps saying, use discretion, because amongst the truth is untruths.

   As a rule of thumb I have always found anything that tells you to do nothing but contemplate is actually saying accept what is, because by doing nothing we become part of the problem, rather than an answer to it.

   by our non actions we help create the world around us, and certainly our generation saw the ww2 ending, we gave away our powers to the govts.
   we empowered them not realising the danger of doing so.

   JFK was not a nice man, but when he realised the true cost and extent of the military and bankers, he gave the speech of his life, it got him killed.

   question everything, let your heart feel and mind evaluate.

   we know charity at local level, giving food to the needy works because we can do it ourselves, its back to grass root level, we can only change what we can touch.

   but if everyone works locally the world changes, we take away the power of the corporate charity brigade.

   if everyone everywhere did the same we would see control fade away.

   if everyone sold the shares wall street would go bust, they make money from greed, wall street are just another symptom of our illness based society.

   the fiscal bankers control everything, they are ultimately our main problem, they enslave us with the wages we earn, there must be a change at that level, all else is just window dressing.

   a govt can not go to war without the banks using our money to finance it.

   to use a biblical text, the love [and creation and control of] money is the root of all ills.
