15 Billion Dollars Worth Of Crops In The USA Need Bees To Pollinate
Maybe we should start taking this a little more seriously. This phenomenon could have devastating effect on of crops not only this year, but next! It is still unclear what exactly is causing Colony Collapse Disorder, but you can take a look at this for a couple different opinions...
One thing is for sure though, without the proper funding scientific research will just be too late! What if the worst case sernerio happens, and we have even fewer bees next year? I am not sure if we can afford to take that kind of chance! Check out this view on the story, skip about 1:30 into it if you don't like Bill Mayer...
Albert Einstein said that if the bees die off then the human race has 4 years to live! That is just plain scary...
He does a good job laying it all out there, the question still remands though, "Is anybody listening?" Here is yet another report from Germany...
How about a post from The Heartland... This is a report from a local news station in Ohio here in The States!
As you can see, this is certainly not an isolated issue as Colony Collapse Disorder has been reported in the following places
USA- 27 states, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Poland, India, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Switzerland, Germany, Taiwan, Brazil, Guatemala, The Netherlands, and Germany
This is a global problem and something needs to be done and fast... this story is quickly spreading as the spring crops are starting to bloom all over the world. If you still don't believe just search the recent news for bees, it seems to be everywhere...
Here is a news article from Minnesota or this one from The New York Times.
