Report: Honeybee Death Rate is Currently too High for Survival of the Species Posted on June 3, 2014 by Cassius Methyl in Food, Health, Natural, Uncategorized // 0 Comments 251K 141 325 Reddit 77 A government report released last week surprisingly admits that the honeybee species are dying off at a rate too high to ‘guarantee their long term survival’. It has been well proven that the primary factor leading to this extinction is the presence of neonicotinoid poisons, of course present in insecticides sold by and/or used by corporations such as Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer, Dupont and their products. Image credit: Matt Romack Photography A recent study from Harvard, published on March 27th of this year, has definitively confirmed what scientists outside the US have been saying for years: neonicotinoids are the [emphasis added] cause of colony collapse disorder(CCD). The study showed that 50% of colonies populated by bees who had been in contact with these pesticides collapsed, compared to only 1 in 6 who were not in contact with neonicotinoids. The European Union understands that the death of honeybees is an unprecedented death for human beings and mother earth, as they have banned neonicotinoid poisons. However, American powers refuse to believe the problem is neonicotinoid insecticides and they continue to be in use here. These corporations with armies of lobbyists and politicians bought and paid for, like Monsanto, are playing dumb and suggesting that ‘mites’ are the cause for the death rate of honeybees, a problem so bad that it means their extinction if they continue on this path. This is dangerous anti-science rhetoric, borderline scientific denialism from the American agro-chemical establishment. - See more at: livefreelivenatural/honeybee-death-rate-currently-high-survival-species-crucial-food/#sthash.1cge0v2c.dpuf
