Couldn't sleep at all last night: Heat made me turn on
the ceiling fan and the noise from that kept me imagining
there were little creatures from outer space creeping
around the house. Then because I had been reading
about the disappearance of the bee before going to bed
.... all night long I kept mulling over this nightmare scenario
where our bees were being abducted by little creatures
from outer space (after they had, naturally, gone through
all their own planet's fierce beasts) to be used in their
bizarre rite of passage from "boy"to "warrior" (in which
each "boy" had to engage in a fight to the death with a
"fierce creature" from another planet (our bee). I "watched"
a couple of the fight, and they were pretty horrifying.

Otherwise, since this is a world-wide phenomenon, there
must be a world-wide cause. And the only thing I can
think of off the top on my head happening world-wide
right now is the shifting of the earth' magnetic field(s).

Whatever the cause turns out to be, the mystery is truly
upsetting on many human levels. Reminds one of just how
fragile our existence on this planet really is.

Besides your figurative somnambulatory musings..

IMO It is most likely that the bees are disappearing because field
crops have been modified to systemically manufacture biological
pesticides such as those produced by Baccillus thurengensis...

The bees come into contact with the genetically modified poisonous
pollen and are damaged or killed.

It's troubling, but it isn't world-wide - it isn't even
nationwide. Some areas of the country (such as
the US Northeast) don't seem to be seeing it at all.

Inconclusive. It could also be a convention. If they were all wearing name
badges and drinking heavily, we would have proof.

I haven't seen a honey bee this year! But the numerous species of
bumble bee seem to be reproducing at a much higher than normal level
since there is no competition for food. IMHO, they are taking up much
of the slack for the missing honey bees. Maybe not enough for
commercial growers, but certainly enough for the rural/urban gardens.

In Maryland the most visible cause is verroa mites. That might be the
last straw in a chain of things though.

apies mellifera is one of several species of honeybee from Eurasia.
Africanized bees might wind up being a savior of sorts. Or
Bohemianized or something.

Imagine a President that can say stuff like that all by himself.
Scary, eh?

Hohensee, President, and Senator Russell Feingold, Vice President.

I've seen six (6) bees all year..when I used to see six in one minute.

Agree on the wild and bumble bees..a lot more of them around.
....

As far as 'enraptured bees' are concerned for the two previously
posting yahoos.. you too will 'bee enraptured' when commercial field
crops start to fail. jackasses.
