Does anyone else remember when bees were going extinct and we were all going to starve?

>In 2016, there were 2.78 million honeybee colonies in the United States—16 percent more than when Colony Collapse Disorder hit in 2006. In fact, there are more honeybee colonies in the country today than in nearly 25 years.

Yeah the human extinction thing is a meme. Plenty of insects that do the same job. Still shouldn't use those pesky pesticides though.

>fixed it
The proposed fixes I've seen involved banning cell phones, banning pesticides, banning automobiles, or banning capitalism and instituting a one world government where the human population is strictly kept below a total of 500 million. Which of these solutions did we pursue?

are you saying we are like the honeybee?
>>
>>134305424
Yeah this is nothing more than a hoax.

Look our scientists here, did a BIG study on this I think it was two years ago now. They debunked everything, conclusion?
The bees have never had it better, it also turns out that they actually do wander quite a bit, so we got several species back that wasn't seen in ages.

And they found out, why this american studies have come to their conclusions. It's a bit like false stories in the media, as you are very aware of how works. Generally this is a big problem in science, there is always shitload of false studies.
>One jackass makes a study, not even leaving office for the field
>Muh bees are dying
>Next scientist come in and do their study, now they lean on the first, they are not really in the field
>The third group of scientists comes and lean on report one and report two..
>The fourth group comes...
>The nth group...
Thus you create a web of lies and faulty reports

This big analysis they did, they were all shocked....
How could this even go on unverified?
It's all wrong, completely and utterly bullshit.

And ofc, it's shekels to be made.. all hyped in the media, grants and whatnot

For utter feces. I don't got the research at hand I do believe, but maybe you can find it on google scholar or something it's public domain

Did you ever drove a car thirty or twenty years ago?
How long could drive before you had to stop to clean your wind shield? And do you have to clean your windshield today at all?
It's not just about bees it's about the entire ecosystem.

This happens all the time, but bees aren't as safe everywhere, remember that in some places local wildlife can't compite.

>>134315560
Ok, you obviously have not. I was refering to the declining insect populations in general that everyone could see. Back in the 80s your entire car was full of splatted insects after driving a few hundred kilometeres. Now its almost impossible to get it that dirty.
I was mearly choosing an example the average joe would understand.

Who here actually doesn't give a single fuck about the "benefits" of bees and just wants the fucking faggots to go extinct already?

You can call me a retard all you want but I don't care about flowers, I'd rather have a dead looking planet without these fucking assholes than a pretty one you can't even enjoy without one of these cunts coming to fucking ruin your time and mood. They're fucking cunts, I hate bees

Banned certain pesticides. People also finishing their drinks & recycling soft drink cans rather than leaving them out in the summer since corn syrup and other artificial sweeteners fucked up bees. Small changes make huge differences in the long term.

How do you attack a country using weapons that won't be easily noticed? Don't target humans or pets, target a vital part of the food production ecosystem.

It's almost like a fuckton of people and organizations changed their practices to help make sure that bees had a healthy environment, rather than just letting them all fucking die.

This is literally a demonstration of the effectiveness of humans modifying their behavior, and you faggots think it's an example of hysteria and bullshit.

All these doomsday bullshit nonsense lies have turned out to be complete bullshit. Every time.
They said there would be an ice age, global warming, ozone layer, nuclear war, climate change, AIDS epidemic, every shitty flu like swine flu, bird flu, faggot flu etc.
These people keep peddling bullshit, and people fall for it every single time.

>>134318719
This is the bullshit (((they))) claim every single time their shit turns out to be completely false.
They say the same about muh ozone layer and oil running out.
People are using more sprays, polluting more and using more oil, but don't worry guys, we fixed the problem!
>>
>>134319753
which part of this is hard?

>On August 2, 2003, scientists announced that the global depletion of the ozone layer may be slowing down because of the international regulation of ozone-depleting substances. In a study organized by the American Geophysical Union, three satellites and three ground stations confirmed that the upper-atmosphere ozone-depletion rate slowed down significantly during the previous decade. Some breakdown can be expected to continue because of ODSs used by nations which have not banned them, and because of gases which are already in the stratosphere. Some ODSs, including CFCs, have very long atmospheric lifetimes, ranging from 50 to over 100 years. It has been estimated that the ozone layer will recover to 1980 levels near the middle of the 21st century.[11] A gradual trend toward "healing" was reported in 2016.[20]

>Compounds containing C–H bonds (such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons, or HCFCs) have been designed to replace CFCs in certain applications. These replacement compounds are more reactive and less likely to survive long enough in the atmosphere to reach the stratosphere where they could affect the ozone layer. While being less damaging than CFCs, HCFCs can have a negative impact on the ozone layer, so they are also being phased out.[21] These in turn are being replaced by hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and other compounds that do not destroy stratospheric ozone at all.

Where I live, we have peaceful ground bees that live in little holes in the ground.

They don't make honey, but they don't sting and buzz around very close to the ground and don't bother you.

Thanks ground bees.
