Honeybees are disappearing

The worst thing is theirs people against the attempts to eradicate it saying its inhumane to destroy hives. They aren't native bees they are introduced bees but they are important. We won't starve without bee's but grain and meat alone would get bit boring after a while.
The thing that’s killing the bees, and all insects is the excessive amount of artificial EMF that continues to increase. The reason one can know that’s the culprit is because wild populations of insects have dramatically decreased. It’s detailed in Arthur Firstenberg’s book The Invisible Rainbow. He talks about the mites too and cites scientific studies that prove they aren’t the cause.

Plenty of insects here where i am in Australia (A flood plain). Lots of especially fly's and mosquitos. I was of the assumption that overuse of pesticides was the cause of the decline of insects in places like the UK. I should go look at the cotton growing region in Australia to see if there is still lots of insects Cotton is GMO and produces its own insecticide. There might be multiple causes.

Severe and Sudden Losses of Managed Honey Bees Across the Nation

As commercial beekeepers in the USA inspect their bees after winter, to transport over 90% of the nation’s managed honey bees to pollinate California almonds, they are discovering alarming colony losses. These losses are severe, broad, and may impact food security through inadequate pollination services. Survey results are still accumulating, but information gathered from 234 beekeepers found average recent losses well over 50%, with a combined financial loss of over $139M. Combined with losses during other times of year, this additional loss puts many beekeepers at a loss rate of 70%-100% over the past 12 months.

The symptoms of loss are reminiscent of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) conditions which occurred in 2007 -2008 when bees suddenly disappeared from their colonies. During recent inspections by field scientists, deceased colonies often died with ample honey stores, leaving small patches of brood, with most or all the adult bees missing. Another symptom has been the rapid dwindling of surviving colonies, often within ten days of passing health inspections.



This page serves as a central hub for press releases, webinars, research updates, and key resources related to 2025 colony loss data as it becomes available. Project Apis m. is committed to providing timely, science-based information to help beekeepers, growers, and stakeholders stay informed and take action.

i read that china has the same problem and that pollenisation must be done by hand.
