what if your neighbor is allergic to bees?

the most likely largest cause of CCD is the use of bees to pollinate monocrops when they need vaiety to survive. and the transport of vast hives worldwide, spreads teh disease. agribusiness as usual is a defect, not a true gain... it is also one of the key reasons, medicine being the other, why we now have 7x more mouths to feed than in just 1900. and what they produce isn\'t food, it is frankenfood doesn\'t even taste or smell like food as it is not food. food is what our grannies ate.

Colony Collapse Disorder remains unknown only to those who have buried their heads up their arse and dont acknowledge that GMO crops from Monsanto have stuffed up this order.

I believe the reason for the demise of so many bees around the world is the spraying called \"Chemtrails\" under the guise of Geo Engineering. What they\'re spraying from those jets contains Aluminum which is a toxin to any form of life whether animal, vegetable, insect, or human. These \'clouds\' come down over the land & get on or in water, trees, plants, us, and gets into our foods. This form of aluminum gets in the flowers & the bees get it on themselves; then take it to the hives where they unwittingly destroy the hive. For us it\'s even worse, as this causes...at the very least...memory loss which eventually destroys the brain through Alzheimers disease. Wake up people.

i like the educated comments on this board. I watched the documentary \"Food Inc\" and \"King Corn\" on Netflix and learned a lot about the monopolys like Monsanto etc...

really cool looking bee hive though

Hmm, people suck on a general consensus...and they would make these bees life a living hell...constantly tapping on the glass, messing with them, torturing them...we would see another aspect of colony collapse...Bee neurosis! No...the average person needs to stay as far away from bees as possible...people will only screw things up. Let them beee!

Ed: Did people screw up dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs, ect.? People are NOT unnatural. We are part of nature. We just need to learn to live with it, unlike other animals who operate instinctually. Mistakes we make are self correcting in that they lead to destruction, pain, and loss of life. It\'s all part of the learning process. Sometimes it takes centuries or eons. For example, government sucks the life out of society daily and then misdirects attention away from its parasitism with war propaganda and war. Every society has fallen into decay this way since recorded history. But we have yet to learn not to trust government but trust ourselves, i.e., to self govern. Someday society will \"grow up\" and stop submitting to governors and the lesson once learned will never be forgotten.

I agree with Ed. We have (real) hives ourselves, but living in AZ, we are getting ever more afraid of the hives being taken over by the Africanized bees. For the past 8 or 9 years, in Tucson, there have been nearly a dozen deaths each year from these bees . Yes, we DO keep a close watch on our hives, but I sometimes have nightmares about African bees. (until a few years ago I was always comfortable working in the gardens amongst the bees. Now, not so much. I\'ve completely turned over harvesting the honey to my husband, as he\'s the one who\'s insisting we keep our hives til the bitter end. But, disturbing the bees \'just for fun\' is NOT something one should do. They don\'t like it a bit, and even the most \'docile\' bees are likely to show their dislike of being disturbed. So, while the \'window box\' is a nice idea in theory, it is NOT something that can actually work. If anyone expects to harvest honey by this method, you would be lucky to get a tablespoon each year. Bees aren\'t pets.

@ Denis Klanac - what if your neighbor is allergic to bees?
If they are bastards, you hope they get stung and die.
The bee acted in self defence.
