In These New Times

Marie Celeste Syndrome is not a virus; it is a condition whereby bees simply disappear from the hive without apparent reason. This would indeed be a mystery but for the well-documented fact that EM radiation, now everywhere around us, both disorientates bees, preventing them from returning to the hive, and weakens their immune system as it does for all life. But because powerful forces do not wish us to make this connection they are using all their influence to prevent this  becoming public knowledge. As a consequence, scientists are using every kind of contorted logic to make this syndrome appear compatible with traditional aflictions of bees such as, pesticides, mites, viruses etc.. To our knowledge none of these either singlely or combination causes bees to disappear from the hive: the dead bees would be found in the vicinity of the hive. Beekeepers seem to be aware of this: here, for example, is Jerry Hayes former president of the Apiary Inspectors of America:

“With affected hives, there are no dead or dying bees on the ground as we see with pesticide exposures or other diseases. No one can explain this behavior.”

Or the Canadian Honey Council website which informs us that:

“To the beekeeper, the most obvious sign of pesticide poisoning is the presence of an exceptional number of dead bees in front of the hives.”

Known as the Marie Celeste Syndrome, it has already killed million of insects around the world.

Beekeepers say Scottish swarms – which total half a billion bees – are at risk because defences against the virus are “woefully inadequate”.

In Marie Celeste Syndrome, also known as Colony Collapse Disorder, worker bees disappear without trace and never return.

The epidemic is believed to be triggered by a bug known as Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus, which causes paralysis leading to death.

Enid Brown, of the Scottish Beekeepers Association, said: “If the Israeli virus gets a grip here, we would have major problems.

“At worst we would end up with no honeybees and the effect on crops would be massive.”
