Call off the bee-pocalypse: U.S. honeybee colonies hit a 20-year high

[jbauer]

LoL. If we would have used your sample size for polls in 2008 or 2012 Ron Paul would have been on top of the world.

There are all kinds of things that could effect what you see and when.

I've seen many more bees lately but I don't treat my lawn to get rid of flowers. I have lots of areas for them to gather pollen and I grow a large garden and a mini orchard for all kinds of food. My neighbor grows gardens full of flowers.

Does my small sample size indicate we're headed towards a bee hostile takeover?

How about go out in your yard and count how many honeybees you see in the next week, zip. That's what is interesting to note. Gosh. Bullshitters. Bullshitters everywhere...

And again...out in the real world ....Zip...where special interest backed research isn't defining the headlines or the terms of controversy... June 10, 2015- Beekeepers disheartened by loss of half of their colonies

2 honeybees I've seen all year. What the heck are some of you people smoking? My gosh. This kind of disingenuous fodder is why nobody takes yuns serious anymore. And that's the truth. I've met more disingenuous people within the so called liberty movement than I've ever met among the most naive of bootlickers out there around the web. I mean, I can excuse their ignorance. I mean, they're freakin bootlickers for the most part. They don't ask questions. But you guys know the truth about this stuff. And you know how to research and see when an article is loaded. But you just try to bullshit your way around the issue to completely redefine the terms of controversy. And for what? People who read this stuff actually know a little bit about it. That's why they read it. You aren't redefining jack squat save for in your own mind. Gosh.

Colony collapse certainly is real. That said, there have been tons of wild bees around here this year. I've seen 4 wild colonies within a half mile of me, and heard of 3 other swarms. Lots of people are getting into beekeeping, and their bees seem to be doing pretty good here. Not professionals, just hobbyists or small time farmers.

I don't doubt you when you say there are hardly any in your are though.

Ditto. Right down the road I have a beekeeper and she is having a good year, I just bought some local honey from her. But in my area lots of people are conscience of Glyphosate and GMO's Thank God.

My neighbor raises bees. I raise birds. He gives me honey. I give him eggs. I cannot describe how perfectly this all works out.
