I think I know why a lot of honeybees are disappearing!!?

Question

Could it be because some unknown new predator is devouring all of them? That might be why we can find no bodies....

Answer 1

Hogwash.  BS.

Answer 2

maybe..

Answer 3

While it is true that there are some creatures that eat honey bees, a new one would most likely have been found due to how many hives are as of this moment being watched and observed. In a class at a camp I went too we discussed this possibility and concluded it to be very unlikely.

Most of the hives appear to collapse from what is an unknown disease known as colony collapse disorder.

This may be caused by the changes now found in plants due to chemicals used over the years or even a virus.

No one really knows, but they doubt that it is a predator.

Answer 5

Better to look for them in new places. California has a growing number in native places like tree stumps. Colorado the same. I have not heard about some other states.

Answer 6

Answer 7

It might be true.

Answer 8

Life just isn't as sweet as it used to be......

Has anyone tried any Killer-Bee honey yet?

It's got a real BITE to it.

Answer 9

The reasons for the bees dissappearing are a number of things.

1.) Colony Collapse Disorder (mysterious disease)

2.) Predation (Ex. parasitic varroa mite)

3.) Pesticides

Answer 10

It's because of governments putting more flowers in the road medians.  They do this to save themselves money because they don't have to mow the grass, but these flowers still attract the bees.

As the bees try to cross the road to get to the flowers **POW!** they find themselves in the radiator of an SUV!

Answer 11

No. I live in Logan, Utah, home of Cox Honeyland and when I was speaking with the beekeeper he said they have not had a problem with CCD, but they also live in an area occupied by a lot of organic farmers. I also raise honeybees in my backyard in small hives (I have 3) and I haven't had a single problem. I think it all boils down to pesticides on crops. I am almost positive that is the root of CCD, because I mean, the point of pesticides is to kill bugs, right? Its not like the pesticide can discriminate between good bees and bad earwigs.

Answer 12

perhaps it is related to the genetic bomb that is predicted . watch dec 2008 . that is the month that I believe the poison will show in humans . "death three and seventy"

Answer 13

Interesting hypothesis, except that the wild colonies seem to be least affected and the travelling colonies are most affected. If there were a predator, you'd expect all colonies to be affected equally. Plus, there is no evidence as yet, for a new predator.
