the government is using hormone pumped bees to pollinate corn, rice and wheat to make them resisten to plagues and be able to grow virtually anywhere, problem is this hormones affect the bees an makes them go crazy, attack other bees and infect them, this is why bees are dissapearing from the world, we are experiencing a zombee-apocalypse

>are they doomed?
Honestly no... I've seen so many new pollinator insects out and about. They just seem to avoid heavy populated places.

I've read some reports that they're actually starting to bounce back. They were definitely in trouble for a while though.

where i live we have solitary bees that don't sting. there are more of them now than i have ever seen thanks to the invasive european bee dying off. the japs have been exporting our bees for years now, there are always better bees to go around.
>>
>>19313453
no
the decline was only regional

>>19313453

No spoopy here. Bee are perfect example of our capitalist agricultural system gone bad. Bees are dying out for the following reasons:

1. Lack of genetic diversity: Hive owners make money from honey and renting their hives out to farmers. They take ONLY the very best honey producing queens and clone them again and again to maximize profits. Modern bees have very little genetic diversity to resist diseases.

2. Rapid transport: A beehive not making honey actually costs money in upkeep and supplies (sugar and protein supplements). Hive owners make sure their hives are working 100% of the time by transporting them across the country in trucks. South in the winter, north in the summer. This allows any new disease (mites, fungus) to get from one end of the country to the other in less than a year. Combine this with no genetic diversity = millions of dead bees. Before modern agriculture bees would be different from area to area and a (new) disease would take a long time to move across the continent. If a Hive was wiped out a genetically different hive would take it's place, thrive, and reproduce. We have fucked that entire natural system.

3. Nicotinoid pesticides: Most pesticides work and then degrade within hours to days, but nicotinoid pesticides can stay active on crops for weeks or months. Already weakened from #1 and #2 bees exposed become even more weak and more prone to diseases.

In the future we may have to decide whether we want honey or food, and allow "less than perfect bees" to reproduce. Or we could just switch to Meliponines bees after all the regular ones are dead. They also make great pets!
