Eine Honigbiene fliegt auf eine Loewenzahnbluete zu am Donnerstag, 4. Mai 2006, auf einer Wiese in Zuerich. Ein grosser Teil der Schweizer Bienen hat den Winter nicht ueberlebt. Der Verlust wird auf insgesamt 20 bis 30 Prozent geschaetzt. Die Ursachen des Bienensterbens sind noch unklar. Die Wissenschaftler glauben, dass verschiedene Faktoren zusammenkamen: die ungenuegende Effizienz der Varroabekaempfung, die Einwinterung geschwaechter Voelker, die Spaettracht, Pestizide und schliesslich klimatische Elemente. Bis sich der Bienenbestand erholt hat, dauert es ein bis zwei Jahre. (AP Photo/Keystone, Lisa Maire) A bee flies towards a yellow blossom in Zurich, Switzerland on Thursday, May 4, 2006.

The bees are going on welfare to let their government support them. While the queen is moving her business over seas to find cheaper labor bees, or getting mexican bees to sneak across the border to work because the US bees won't do that kind of job anymore.

You failed to mention who these experts were. What about the genetically altered corn syrup beekeepers feed their bees in the Spring and Fall. I bet the boys down at ADM cornsweetners will be screaming bloody murder about that one. Imagine a bee eats the altered sryup or even the queen for that matter she lays eggs which have been altered. Word has it that local beekeepers are coming to the conclusion this is whats causing the hives to die. My experts agree with this conclusion. Go down and ask.

One more thing to cause food shortages, and higher food costs. Things from here on into the future will only get worse. Learn to grow and preserve food, you will need something to do around home anyway with the never ending rising fuel costs.

Um, yeah. This story broke like 100 years ago. Why don't you bring us up to speed on the recent Hindenburg disaster or Bruce Aune's hair implant hostage crisis.
