Collective Evolution – by Arjun
Shortly after 50,000 bees were found dead in an Oregon parking lot (read more here), a staggering 37 million bees have been found dead in Elmwood, Ontario, Canada.Dave Schuit, who runs a honey operation in Elmwood has lost 600 hives. He is pointing the finger at the insecticides known as neonicotinoids, which are manufactured by Bayer CropScience Inc. This also comes after a recent report released by the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA) that recorded its largest loss of honeybees ever. You can read more about that here. The European Union has stepped forward, having ban multiple pesticides that have been linked to killing millions of bees. You can view the studies and read more about that here.
The loss comes after the planting of corn. Neonicotinoid pesticides are used to coat corn seed with air seeders, which result in blowing the pesticide dust into the air when planted. The death of millions of pollinators was studied by Purdue University. They discovered that Bees exhibited neurotoxic symptoms. They analyzed dead bees and found that traces of thiamethoxam/clothiandin were present in each case. The only major source of these compounds are seed treatments of field crops. You can view that study here (1).
Bee deaths are increasing exponentially. An international team of scientists led by Holland’s Utrecht University has concluded that, “large scale prophylaxic use in agriculture, their high persistence in soil and water, and their uptake by plants and translocation to flowers, neonicotinoids put pollinators at risk. This is some of the research that led to the European Unions ban of the pesticides, as mentioned and referenced earlier.
Can we really debate this much longer? The evidence shown linking pesticides to bee deaths is overwhelming. It’s not only bees, but an array of other insects as well. The last thing we need is for Monsanto to use another reason to manufacture and develop fake food! One reason that has been used for justification of GMO’s is a food shortage, and we all know how critical bees are to our food supply. There is a huge conflict of interest here, the pesticides used to spray the crops that are killing the bees are developed by biotech corporations like Monsanto.
Time to make the connections, time to speak up!

Wiping out the bee population is a great way to insure the starvation of the human population, so I’m not so sure these massive bee deaths are accidental, or that the pesticides are having an unexpected effect on the bees.
A person I know raises bees for honey production & pollination. Through the bee community & their research the name Monsanto rears its ugly face over & over, as does the CIA & their spraying the atmosphere with chemicals for many Evil reasons & that’s de-population of the USA & other select countries EXCEPT the Middle East. If you follow the money trail of nearly all of the Evil Deeds of the World & especially this chemical problem you’ll find Goldman Sachs at the top, thence the European Central Bank, thence the Federal Reserve; etc….Are you seeing the picture??? Word is that Evergreen Air of McMinville, OR is the outfit spraying the atmosphere with chemicals all over for the CIA.. Continue to fight for Freedom, Liberty & Truth
