Beekeepers march on Parliament to save hive populations

Beekeepers march on Parliament to save hive populations
By Matthew Moore Telegraph
04/11/2008

In a move reminiscent of the surreal novels that came out of the oppression of the Stalin era, research is being demanded while undiscussed research is being ignored. The investigation into the effect of EMF on bees has constantly been scoffed at by referral to one report in the Independent whereby Dr Kuhn’s “hint” statement had to be withdrawn as it was not scientific. Meanwhile Dr Warnke’s yet to be refuted research is not even getting a hint of a mention.

Hundreds of beekeepers are to march through the centre of London to call for more funding for research into diseases that are devastating bee populations. Read the rest of this entry »

Plea for more research cash as two billion bees die from rampant disease

Posted by seumasach on November 3, 2008

Interesting that the likes of Lovett spend all their time appealing to the government for money for research, and yet ignore research carried out over the last four decades because it suggests the politically unacceptable conclusion that EM radiation is killing the bees and multiple other species, including, eventually, us.

Telegraph

1st November, 2008

They accused the Government of failing to invest in the research needed to stem diseases and parasites which are now thought to have destroyed one in three bee colonies over the past year.

Wifi and electromagnetic fields

30th October, 2008

We are constantly being misled by elements of the mobile phone and
electronics industries (who have huge vested interests in the
infrastructure) into believing that the pulsed microwaves used in cell
phones and Wifi are harmless. Their sole justification for this is that
the radiation is too weak to generate significant heat when they are
absorbed by living tissues.

Rat infestation threatens UK

Rat infestation threatens UK
Britain now has more rats than people, with the trend set to continue unless households cut down on food waste, it has been claimed.

By Chris Irvine Telegraph
GMT 27 Oct 2008
Experts claim councils which have stopped weekly bin collections are to blame, along with mild winters and last year’s floods.
The worst affected city is York, which has seen its rat population rise by 208 per cent in a year. Carlisle has seen a change of 142 per cent.
Other areas to see a significant increase in infestation include Exeter (60 per cent) and Salford (40 per cent).
Rentokil estimates there are 65 to 80 million rats in Britain compared to around 60m humans.
National Pest Technicians Association director Peter Crowden told The Daily Mirror: “In 30 years I’ve never known such a big rat population – and there will be an epidemic if people don’t reduce food waste. Read the rest of this entry »

Mobile phones may be killing bees and causing human health problems

Mobile phones may be killing bees and causing human health problems

• 23 Oct 2008 • euroweekly.news

This report greatly understates the evidence for EMF damage to bees and humans

BEE colonies are disappearing in worrying numbers throughout the world and beekeepers in America, the UK, Scotland, Germany Switzerland, Spain, Portugal and Greece are all seeing their hives vanish. When a hive’s inhabitants suddenly disappear, leaving only queens, eggs and a few immature worker bees, it is known as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Usually there is an obvious reason for this, such as illness or attacks from predators. However, there doesn’t seem to be a straightforward answer for the current problem. Many of the beekeepers have also reported that other bees, animals and moths stayed away from the abandoned nests, which is not normal and may indicate a serious problem. Bees are one of the most essential insects on the human food chain. They are the main pollinators of hundreds of crops, nuts, flowers, vegetables and fruits. Albert Einstein once said that, if the bees disappeared, “man would have only four years of life left”. Read the rest of this entry »

Industrial Nanotech Enters Agricultural Market With Solution to Multibillion Dollar Crop Crisis

Posted by smeddum on October 17, 2008

 

It remains to seen whether this product actually addresses Colony Collapse Disorder or merely some of the common problems that threaten bees such as the Varroa mite, and various bacterial infections, as the article tends to suggest. There is no discussion of the cause of CCD or electromagnetism. Those of us who have been following this crisis will hope that by some incredible piece of serendipity, that this coating offers a solution, but from a distance it seems highly unlikely

Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets: INTK), an emerging global leader in nanotechnology, announced today that the Company has launched a new patented product for the agricultural market which has been proven to provide a solution to the growing crisis that threatens 15 billion dollars worth of crops in the US and billions more worldwide. Failure to halt this decline has the potential to decimate agriculture and triple food prices. Potential revenue to Industrial Nanotech for this product is over 2.5 billion dollars US.
