so worry but not panicking yet. gotcha, nothing will be done then.

This story is about domesticated honeybees, which have been declining for decades due to Colony Collapse Disorder and other stressors. Native North American bees are in their own long-term decline, with 1 in 4 species at risk of extinction. However, domesticated honeybees are tremendously important for the pollination and yield of many crops important to humans, and this population drop, thought to be the largest annual losses seen, should be considered in the context of the longer decline, and the possibility that we could hit a tipping point when pollination, and a crucial pillar of our food system, could fail.

We could always eat the rich.

Think of the shareholders!

Idk about others, but mine died due to temperatures not reaching above 27 for 14 days straight.

there’s a crazy scene in the documentary More Than Honey where they compare beekeepers with US Almond Farm pollenators. It’s all about money and it’s sickening.

I agree it does mention hundreds of millions but is confusing because...Shook said. "If we lose 80% of our bees every year,..." Not very clear in the article on exactly what percentage of the bee population died.

Pretty huge distinction

I am in Canada. But I wholly support this. We must defeat the cheeto madman.

It does, but the problem everyone's talking about isn't about wild bees, it's about farming bees. Monospeecies of non-native bees pollinating monoculture of probably corn. They are dying, but only because they're basically kept in bees analogue of factory farming conditions.
Wild pollinators are fine (well, as fine as any wild species can be in our world, so not really, but at least not worse than others)

there’s a fungus that protects against the mites and it’s being researched. it’s genius, the bee picks up the fungus in a contraption where it has to crawl through to get to nectar and then brings it back to the hive. i read it in Merlin Sheldrake’s Entangled Life.

Is now a bad time to get into mead making?

I wonder if I can return my yeast...

It's like nobody paid attention to bee movie.

What are we supposed to do? Not rolling coal and eating meat every day? There is just nothing we can do.

This is bad news for every animal on land
