  • A farmer's point of view

    I'd echo the thought that perhaps honey bees receive as much as they give. I guess the question is: is pollen for honey a fair trade for both the human and the bee? I think so. As a market grower, this season I waited anxiously for the first bees to touch down on my squash field. Without them, the whole crop would be in vain, unless I were to ...

  • Honeybees

    The article was ,for the most part, right on the money. However, purchasing a three pound package of bees will do absolutely no good if you don't provide them with a hive to live in. The bees are shipped in a wooden crate with window screen on both sides. The package ,with queen, is dumped into the hive body which must include frames with ...

  • What Nature Does for Free...

    Bees are just one small example of something that nature does for us human beings without charging a fee. Imagine how costly it would be for us to develop the kind of technology that nature has been evolving and perfecting for the past 100 million years! When discussing the climate and the environmental crises facing our world today, economists ...

  • DEATH of the HONEYBEES

    The author Heather did not mention one other reputed cause for the CCD sudden dieoff of the bees, which was given in a DER SPIEGLE article some months ago.

  • Unaware Awareness

    So many are ignoring the signs of colony collapse, where one species dies, and other species who live off of that species die, and the species after that dies, and so forth. Whether it is realized or not, we are connected beings, a chain of lives dependent on one another for our ''daily bread,'' or for our very existence. When one species, ...

  • honeybees disappearance

    I believe the biggest reason the honeybees are dieing off are from spraying pesticides to kill gypsy moths and that nasty mosquito. Stop aerial pesticide spraying! First the bees disappear then the poison gets into the human species and slowly gets on our skin and is absorbed by our bodies wonderful system and then slowly we get poisoned and die ...
