I don't doubt that by I fear he is being lead by the nose by those who know exactly what they are doing and for some reason they want a general collapse.

Bytch McCecil, for one. His azz should be in prison and will be discredited twenty years after he is gone by history...

As a beekeeper this makes me see red. Especially since his billionaire buddies at Monsanto etc are likely at the root of the honeybee's decline. Fortunately beekeepers are an extremely invested bunch.

They've been saying this for years.

I thought they are building the populations since the decline, will read this article next chance I get. Interesting stuff.

I don't think the populations can be built if the bees can't pollinate.

I thought they are putting out bee keepers, then releasing bees into crops. I saw this on a doc. somewhere in the past.

Saving bees.

My daughter's father in law is a blueberry farmer. He has to hire beekeepers to pollinate his fields. He blames pesticides for the decline of the bee population.
At the same time, there are people who claim there is no decline. There must be something to it because he has to hire beekeepers.
-
This is absolutely true. Every beekeeper that I know has experienced losses. The pesticides we use in the agriculture industry and around our homes have created serious issues for the bees. Not only are they toxic to the bees, but they create an environment in which detrimental parasites are allowed to thrive and multiply in the hive. Gone are the days of organic beekeeping. My grandpa NEVER treated his bees with anything. Try that today and you wouldn't have any bees to keep.

Exactly. We have some day lilies around here and they attract the bees and butterflies. We don't spray our flowers with anything.

A lot of Trump hysteria in here.
1: It's temporary. (Article reads like it might only be for 1 quarter)
2: Bee's are not all of a sudden going to die because this governmental data collection point stops collecting data. For one, the data collection isn't stopped (See #3)
3: Is this data not collected by alternative collection points? A quick google search has netted some good results (seems like beekeepers would know this already).
4: Reread 1-3 until the hysteria subsides.
I will have to agree with others on the over usage of chemicals along with farmland, population growth and other factors having a detriment to bee populations. I have also noticed a decline in fireflies and butterflies over the last 30 years, so it's just not the bee's that are being affected.

This is why I mentioned beekeepers being an invested lot. Much of what is known about honeybees and their habits is learned through observation by beekeepers themselves.

I guess studies do show a decline, but some studies are exaggerated. Gotta know the difference between true and false studies. Real live proof should solve this problem.

I guess this is why we need Lawyers, to get to the truth, even when they lie lol.
-
No, but really lawyers do help like in hospital suits. For example, like when things go wrong, like leaving intruments in people's bodies after an operation. OOps I forgot. maybe some Dr's have Elzheimers disease or something.

No, doctors rely on techs and nurses to tell him or her about the instruments in my opinion.

Whoever forgets, it's mot a good thing and the Hospital needs to be sued. I would think a Dr. has a big role in this, and the hospital.

Most hospitals probably can't be sued but doctor's can, of course, that is why they pay such a high cost in malpractice insurance to keep.cases out of the court system. In some cases it is why they make you sign forms that you can't sue them.

Doesn't sound fair, why should hospitals get off? Maybe the health industry would be better if this didn't go on?

I didn't say all hospitals but if you think about a hospital is just a building that the doctors use. Same as a courthouse or a school.

Schools get sued, I don't know about courthouses.
-

It really does no good to sue schools. Schools can't be sued for simple negligence and one has to prove that it is negligent in other areas which can be hard to prove. Courthouses are immune from lawsuits at least in some states.

I give up on this conversation.
