Thread: Honey Bee Colonies Collapsing in Europe

    Honey Bee Colonies Collapsing in Europe

    I had asked that this topic get broken out from another thread, but since it didn't...

    http://www.theguardian.com/environme...rity-honeybees

    The study, published in the journal PLoS One, found that Europe has 13 million less managed honeybee colonies than would be needed to properly pollinate all its crops, equivalent to 7 billion individual bees. Across the continent, honeybees provided just two-thirds of the pollination but the situation in the UK was particularly stark, with only Moldova having a bigger bee deficit. Many major agricultural nations, including France, Italy and Germany, had too few honeybees to provide all the pollination services.
    I'll wait here while you figure out a way to blame it on GMO crops.

    Read the last paragraph in your article linked Angela. They do blame GMO's.
    "The biofuel policy has gone through without anyone thinking about the impacts on pollination," said Tom Breeze, another of the research team at Reading.

    Over 75% of all food crops require pollination and concern has mounted in recent years about the role of pesticides, habitat loss and disease in declining honeybee numbers and suspected losses of wild pollinators. In December, a two-year ban began across the Europe Union on widely used insecticides that have been linked to serious harm in bees. The UK unsuccessfully opposed the ban, arguing there was insufficient evidence for it.
    Do you not realize what GMO is exactly?
    They genetically modify the plant so that it can withstand heavy dousing of pesticides...
    OR
    They genetically modify the DNA of the plant to include a pesticide. Insects that feed upon it die, think like rat poison.

    Contrary to the propaganda of twenty years ago about how GMO's are the savior of the world and will end world hunger...that's not become reality.

    If you follow the links from the article you shared you find that most discuss the rapeseed crops of Europe.
    Rapeseed is where we get our canola oil from. It is one of the big GMO crops.

    Note, your article mentions bio-fuels, which aren't going to have the same demands for organic/ non-GMO from consumers for obvious reasons.

    While the Liberals are busy blaming Monsanto for all the problems in the world, Monsanto thinks they may have solved the bee decline issue: Varroa Mites

    (The Varroa mite is considered to be a potential leading contributor to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).)


    Monsanto Company Forms Honey Bee Advisory Council, Pledges Support For Honey Bee Health At First-Of-Its-Kind Summit
    Monsanto Commits To Collaboration With Beekeeping Industry Partners To Improve Honey Bee Health


    Monsanto
    June 13, 2013


    Today, a first-of-its-kind Honey Bee Health Summit concluded at Monsanto Company's Chesterfield Village Research Center. The three-day event hosted by Project Apis m. (PAm) and Monsanto's Honey Bee Advisory Council (HBAC) included nearly 100 members of the bee community representing academics, beekeepers, industry associations and government sectors.

    Summit attendees heard from some of the nation's top apiculture researchers on the challenges facing honey bees, an important ecosystem service provider and natural pollinator.

    Learning from the Honey Bee Community

    "Healthy honey bees are essential for productive agriculture and the environment," said Jerry Hayes, who runs Monsanto's bee industry efforts as the Beeologics commercial lead. "As a company focused on sustainable agriculture, Monsanto has made significant investments in collaborations and R&D for the betterment of honey bee health, including the formation of Monsanto's Honey Bee Advisory Council."

    Monsanto joined forces with beekeeping industry experts to form the HBAC. Through the counsel of these experts from the beekeeping industry, Monsanto has learned a great deal about the complex challenges facing beekeepers. Members of Monsanto's HBAC include:


    - Diana Cox-Foster, Ph.D., professor, entomology, Penn State University
    - David Mendes, commercial beekeeper and past president of American Beekeeping Federation
    - Gus Rouse, honey bee queen breeder and owner of Kona Queen Hawaii, Inc.
    - Larry Johnson, row crops grower and commercial beekeeper


    In addition to working with the honey bee community, Monsanto, alongside other agriculture industry leaders, supports best management practices that are beneficial to honey bee health. Monsanto supports The Guide to Seed Treatment Stewardship, which the American Seed Trade Association (ASTA) and CropLife America (CLA) recently released. The Guide is an industry-wide initiative that promotes the safe handling and management of treated seeds.

    Forage for Pollinating Bees

    Year-one results of a three-year partnership between PAm and Monsanto also were provided during the summit. The goal of the partnership is to educate and provide forage with growers and landowners in California about the value of planting honey bee forage on land they would otherwise leave unused. The selected flowering plants provide pollen diversity to keep pollinating bees strong.

    Almond pollination is extremely important and it demands more colonies than any other crop. It takes approximately 800 commercial beekeepers and 1.6 million honey bee colonies to pollinate California almonds.

    "To ensure strong colonies and healthy honey bees for pollination, they need access to varied forage," said Christi Heintz, executive director, PAm. "This partnership signifies a strong commitment to helping find sustainable solutions to improve bee health by providing honey bee forage," said Heintz.

    130 percent of the first year's goal was achieved, yielding an area of 450 acres of forage.

    Working to Control the Varroa Mite

    Based largely on HBAC's counsel, Monsanto has focused its bee health research efforts on finding a way to control the Varroa mite, which is a carrier of various viruses that are harmful to honey bees. The Varroa mite is considered to be a potential leading contributor to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).

    "If beekeepers let mite pressure get out of control, it becomes an uphill battle and they usually lose," said Hayes.

    Monsanto's BioDirect™ technology has the potential for sustainable benefits to beekeepers, growers and consumers in the form of biological solutions. The technology has the potential to control a problem insect on a beneficial insect without harm to the beneficial insect. BioDirect technologies may ultimately be used to identify new and additional opportunities for current herbicides, create better insect control options and offer new virus-control tools.

    Scientists: Corn Seed Coating Possible Bee-Killing Culprit

    Italian researchers are the latest to identify a common chemical coating applied to corn seeds as a possible culprit in the colony collapse disorder epidemic that has been wiping out honeybee populations around the world.

    If the suspicions of more and more researchers prove true, chemical farmers will have wiped out a large portion of their most valuable workforce: unpaid honeybees.

    The suspect seed coating, a type of neonicotinoid insecticide, is applied to many genetically engineered corn seeds to kill pests the GMO Bt toxin cannot destroy.

    According to International Business Times, authors of the study note the "results show that the environmental release of particles containing neonicotinoids can produce high exposure levels for bees, with lethal effects compatible with colony losses phenomena observed by beekeepers."

    The study was published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.

    Interestingly, since Italy banned this type of insecticide, colony collapse disorder has virtually disappeared, making neonicotinoid insecticides major suspects in the causes of colony collapse disorder.

    She was talking about rapeseed, which is still banned. AFAIK all food for human consumption has to be GMO free. I coud be wrong I don't really care how they do things in Europe, except to the extent that it's usually quite wrong.

    37 Million Bee Deaths in Canada Linked to GMOs

    Canadian beekeepers in Elmwood, Ontario, have lost upwards of 37 million bees just weeks after GMO corn was planted nearby.

    The massive die-off represents a mere fraction of those that have been lost since the mysterious colony collapse disorder, or CCD, began affecting bees all over the world.

    Recently, the European Union has enacted a two year moratorium on the use of neonicotinoids, insecticides thought to be responsible for the bee deaths, and frequently used on crops of GMO corn and other commodities. An international team of scientists led by Holland’s Utrecht University concluded that, ”Large scale prophylactic use in agriculture, their high persistence in soil and water, and their uptake by plants and translocation to flowers, neonicotinoids put pollinator services at risk,” which was one of the major contributors to the EU ban.

    However, the neonicotinoids are still approved and legal in Canada and the U.S.

    And right on cue, DonnaY pipes in and contributes another tiny lie to the stack of propganda that the GMO crowds spread. The insecticide is also applied to nonGM crops for the same reason.

    No bias there! Don't believe me? Here's the original article. And here's the study. The sleaze-peddler inserted the word "GMO" into the piece just becuz the agenda is more important the science.

    And note they didn't even name the pesticide...red flag for people who aren't entirely brainwashed.

    Why? They're no longer spraying the toxin on the plant, which is easier on the soil. Now it's just already in the plant. (And it's cotton - we don't eat it.)

    There's just no stopping the agenda train, is there? Neonictinoids have nothing to do with GMO crops, but yet your sources insist on lumping them together. But by God you absolutely refuse to even wonder why that might possibly be happening.

    In what could be a wild bit of irony, these insecticides were developed as an environmentally friendly, organic method of insect control. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonentin...s-precipitous/

    In the US, virtually all genetically engineered Bt corn crops are treated with neonicotinoids.

    But those who tout the benefits of GE fail to mention that today virtually all corn seed is treated instead with chemical insecticides called neonicotinoids to ward off several corn insects not well controlled by Bt toxins. And while almost all corn is now treated with insecticide via the seed, substantial amounts of corn went untreated by insecticides prior to Bt. For example, corn alternated (rotated) with soybeans from year to year usually needed little or no insecticide treatment, and only five to 10 percent of corn was sprayed for corn borers.

    I couldn't agree more. The only way to see this stopped is by making people aware of these poisons and vote with your pocketbook and boycott any farmer who decides to use these poisons.

    I was finally able to make some of our local farmers aware of these things. And this season we have farmers around our area pledging (with full transparency) not to use GMO's, but heirloom seeds, and no pesticides and herbicides. I think we are making progress and that is what is important.

    Go lick some freshly sprayed crops and see where you end up. Roundup is highly toxic. It only becomes inert in time. Prior to denaturing, it is nothing with which you want to make intimate contact. Two of my closest friends are long term farmers, each holding the requisite state pesticide licensing in NJ. First time I helped one spray roundup on his nursery stock, he warned me not to get any on me. This was the industrial strength formulation and the sales rep warned him strongly that it can cause significant harm. Once it denatures, toxicity issues pass in about 7 days. Until then, it is dangerous. If it proved harmful to bees I cannot say it would surprise me any.

    They cannot do that and hope to remain in business. One of my friends is a grain farmer in NJ. He grow GMO. Why? Because he'd go out of business otherwise. Blight resistant - pest resistant - faster growing - higher yields - drought tolerance - all reasons to use GMO because everyone else is using them, bringing in huge crops and the price of grain is depressed. If you don't use GMOs, your costs per acre are higher and yield lower and combined with the low fetch per bushel, you aren't making enough to live.

    The situation is similar to when the first manufacturer in market X went to China. All his competitors HAD to follow suit or he would have driven them all out of business. Remember when good tennis shoes were $300 a pair, back when $300 was a LOT of money? Now you get top of the line for 1/3 that in a time when the money buys perhaps 1/3 what it did back then. When one manufacturer is able to cut prices by that much, the rest either follow suit or close their doors - no quesiton about it.
