Forget Global Warming: The Bees Are Dying

Um, this one hasn't really created the stir in the public that perhaps it should. Bees in both Europe and the US are dying at unprecedented rates. Some reports between 30%-90% of bees in particular states in the US for example have died in the past year (billions and billions of bees). So what's the problem? Well, lets go back to an Albert Einstein quote:

If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.

Now, I'm light on in the knowledge of bees, so here are two short articles that give the picture about Europe and the US.

Love to hear your thoughts about this important signal amongst the noise…Perhaps it has something to do with the toxic unintended consequences of GM crops, like the new evidence against GMO corn.

Gulp. Boy could our human-hubris be about to catch up with us.
