Idiots!
Bees are thriving in Colorado!
Mine are quite happy.
We’ve got bullfrogs galore around here.
>>> I mean, that’s the history of the world: extinction. If we need bees we’ll figure out a way to keep them around. <<<
I keep telling the grandkids that the reason we don’t have dinosaurs any more is that they didn’t taste good.
If they tasted good there would be dinosaur farms just like chicken farms.

What do commercial honeybees have to do with bumblebees?
Besides, it’s not all fine. Beekeepers have been having problems for years with Varoa mites & now colony collapse disorder probably related to neonicotinoid pesticides. Europe banned them, we won’t.
Climate change is constant, we are no longer in an ice age and Britain no longer produces wine as in Roman times. Doubt there’s an issue.
Isn’t it curious that honey bees that were A-OK in Florida, cannot now survive in Michigan, where even warmists must admit it’s not warmer than Florida has been in the last 10,000 years.
Are there any scientists left?
There were literally hundreds on our plants over the past month or so.
drivel, unmitigated drivel
Let's be transparent.
Another load of Bee-S from the loony left.
>>> My pants are too short because of global warming. <<<
My pants are too wide because of global warming.
Exactly.
I have seen a bunch of bumblebees hanging out around my lavender and roses.
No more and no less then other years.
Honey bees are non-native to the US, so there’s that. Toss in the fact that large bee die offs over the winter aren’t that unusual and have been effectively dealt with every year. Globally honey bee populations are larger than in the last half century. So where’s the problem?
Ingenious.
Something like that could really bring a lot of people into beekeeping. I know harvesting honey is the primary reason I’ve never considered doing it myself.
There are some concerns about the flowhive from beekeepers but that’s actually good because criticism is how things get better. Still, making harvest easier would likely bring a lot of hobbyists in.

I’ll send the video of the flowhive on to my neighbor and see what he thinks.
Ping me, please. I’d love to see what he says and how this thing improves over time. This is the kind of innovation that brings honey prices down and makes people more productive. I love the free market where millions of strangers spend hours, days, years working to make me happy.
