bee holocaust caused by dangerous man-made poisons

Official EU research verifies bee holocaust caused by dangerous man-made poisons, Big Ag and Big Government do nothing



(NaturalNews) A class of insecticide chemicals commonly applied to
rapeseed, also known as canola here in the U.S., as well as sugar beets,
corn, and various other crops is killing off bee populations across the
globe, and a prominent environmental watchdog group is now demanding
that these insecticides be immediately pulled from the market. As
reported by the U.K.'s Daily Mail, a report issued by the U.K.'s Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) confirms that neonicotinoid insecticides are to blame for mass bee die-offs.

The
declaration by this prominent government advisory group comes following
the release of data out of the E.U. showing that neonicotinoids contain
compounds that interfere with bees' central nervous systems, and thus
cause them to become confused while pollinating. Eventually, bees
affected by these chemicals lose their ability to navigate back to the
hive, forgetting where they are and how to get home, which results in
them starving and dying en masse.

Back in January, the European Food Safety Authority
(EFSA) determined that neonicotinoids, which have been in use since the
early 1990s, are directly responsible for triggering an epidemic of
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) all around the world. The agency went on
to express opposition to the further use of neonicotinoid insecticides,
particularly with regards to plants that are attractive to bees. But the
European Commission was ultimately unable to garner enough votes to
successfully implement a two-year ban on the chemicals, which has
prompted EAC to issue its own call for a ban.

"If farmers had to
pollinate fruit and vegetables without the help of insects, it would
cost hundreds of millions of pounds and we would all be stung by rising
food prices," says Joan Walley MP, chair of EAC, referring to the
devastating losses that will occur in the absence of pollinating bees. "Defra (Department for the Environment Food and Rural Affairs)
Ministers have refused to back EU efforts to protect pollinators and
can't even come up with a convincing plan to encourage bee-friendly
farming in the U.K."

UK, Germany primarily responsible for enabling continued 'armageddon' on bees

According
to earlier reports, the European Commission was roadblocked in its
attempt to protect bee populations by both the U.K. and Germany, which
at the last minute failed to vote in favor of a two-year moratorium. The
winners in the proposal's defeat, of course, are chemical companies
like Syngenta and Bayer CropScience, both of which have a vested
interest in neonicotinoids. The losers are not only bees, but the global
population at large, which will suffer from crop failures and
eventually starvation.

"Britain and Germany have caved in to the
industry lobby and refused to ban bee-killing pesticides," Iain Keith
from the non-profit environmental group Avaaz is quoted as saying by the
U.K.'s Guardian. "[The] vote flies in the face of science and
public opinion and maintains the disastrous chemical armageddon on bees,
which are critical for the future of our food."
