The UK’s <i>Daily Mail</i> reports that up to 12 million bees from roughly 800 apiaries in the area all dropped dead at roughly the same time around September 26 — and local beekeepers say pesticides are likely to blame.</div><div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 30.796875px; padding: 0px;">CCD is the term often used to describe the inexplicable mass die-off of honeybees around the world, which typically involves honeybees leaving their hives and, for whatever reason, never finding their way back home. Mass die-offs associated with CCD often occur at seemingly random locations around the world, and typically involve a gradual process of disappearance and eventual colony collapse — and the dead bees are typically nowhere to be found.</div>

Based on the appearance of the dead bees, as well as the synchronous timing of their deaths, pesticide sprayings appear to be the culprit in this case.</div><div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 30.796875px; padding: 0px;">“I’m a pretty tough guy, but it is heart wrenching,” said Charles Smith of Smith Family Honey Company to News 13 in Orlando.

Dave Schuit, who runs a honey operation in Elmwood has lost 600 hives. He is pointing the finger at the insecticides known as neonicotinoids, which are manufactured by Bayer CropScience Inc. This also comes after a recent report released by the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA) that recorded its largest loss of honeybees ever. You can read more about that <a href="http://www.collective-evolution.com/2013/06/13/largest-honeybee-loss-ever-recorded-in-the-united-kingdom/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: #27aae1; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;">here</a>.  The European Union has stepped forward, having banned multiple pesticides that have been linked to killing millions of bees.

Neonicotinoid pesticides are used to coat corn seed with air seeders. This results in having the pesticide dust blown into the air when planted. The death of millions of pollinators was studied by Purdue University. They discovered that Bees exhibited neurotoxic symptoms. They analyzed dead bees and found that traces of thiamethoxam/clothiandin were present in each case. The only major source of these compounds are seed treatments of field crops. You can view that study<a href="http://extension.entm.purdue.edu/publications/E-53.pdf" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: #27aae1; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;"> here</a> (1).</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;"><img height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcc0z9MKEVti09xyQscGjlkyc6FDBvRVNVge_NaF2Bcmd-wP4JLGMc4kbO44apuV6jPdmnBIIUZLj3Uem8f9aBzrh55h4mg2GXpMDgQP3U9bZA1nf50mi5fAzyTsNHlOnVwb_vSkp8yKY/s400/Wax+006.jpg" width="400" /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">Bee deaths are increasing exponentially. An international team of scientists led by Holland’s Utrecht University has concluded that, “large scale prophylaxic use in agriculture, their high persistence in soil and water, and their uptake by plants and translocation to flowers, neonicotinoids put pollinators at risk. This is some of the research that led to the European Unions ban of the pesticides, as mentioned and referenced earlier.</div><br />

The evidence linking pesticides to bee deaths is overwhelming. It’s not only bees, but an array of other insects as well. The last thing we need is more events to occur that companies can use to push the manufacturing and development or more genetically modified foods. One reason that has been used for justification of GMO’s is a food shortage, and we all know how critical bees are to our food supply. There is a huge conflict of interest here, the pesticides used to spray the crops that are killing the bees are developed by biotech corporations such as Monsanto.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">Time to make the connections, time to speak up!</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">Sources:</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.thepost.on.ca/2013/06/19/bees-dying-by-the-millions" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear; color: #27aae1; outline: none !important; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s linear;">http://www.thepost.on.ca</a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.collective-evolution.com/2013/07/01/over-30-million-bees-found-dead-in-elmwood-canada/">http://www.collective-evolution.com</a></div></div><br />
