Re: Why honey bees are disappearing.

Microwave towers certainly have an effect on any organisms that live nearby, and this might have some combined impact, to be sure. But, if you study microbiology even on a layman's basis, one set of DNA used to produce a living organism can wreak havoc as research and everyday farming experiences have reported..

For instance, the genetically cloned cattle that are currently being used to produce our dairy supplies (YES, they are being used even as I type this message) has an 80% rate of failure in the fetal stage. What happens is that the cloned calf fetuses that are implanted in the diary cows suffer from a condition called, "Gigantic Fetal Syndrome." This is a horrific condition where the skeletal structure of the clone grows much faster than does the muscular & soft tissue, resulting in the necessity of an induced abortion producing something out of a sci-fi horror flick. Now, because the aborted tissue is considered "protein," it is used in products that require protein byproducts, particularly pet food and livestock feed. The idea that Cloning livestock would be a money-saving tool has been blown out of the water - the clone must be developed in a laboratory, inserted into the host, and birthed by the host, if all goes well. To date, all does NOT go well in cloned livestock - a full 80% of all cloned livestock must be aborted by a veterinarian. The remaining 20% of cloned livestock births experience numerous internal abnormalities and shorter life-spans.

Getting back to the bees - bee pollen is one of those naturally ocurring things that has (HAD) limitless healing properties for human beings. Bees, themselves, were pretty much immune to most blights with the exception of weather phenomenon. If the bees are only getting one half of the nutritional requirements needed to produce their feed pollen, it stands to reason that their immune systems have been compromised and that they are now susceptible to organisms and diseases that they were once impervious to. Sure, there are combined elements that are damaging them, but the cloned organisms from which they harvest their pollen from is, IMHO, the main culprit. IF cloned organisms are causing that much damage to bees, imagine what it's doing to human beings. Tweet
