\u00a0\"bee\"<\/em><\/h4>\n

Pesticides and disease-bearing parasites are decimating the bee population in the US. \u00a010 million beehives have been wiped out. \u00a0In reality, these pesticides and fungicides being poured into the earth by farmers in order to increase their crop yield for profit contaminate the pollen which, when examined and fed to healthy bees, was found to have a significant effect on their ability to resist infection from parasites.<\/h2>\n

The increased use of agricultural chemicals are destroying the pollen on which the bees feed.<\/h2>\n

This is happening, not only in America, but in Europe. \u00a0In France, the death rate was more than 60 percent. \u00a0In the UK, honeybees my become extinct within a decade.<\/h2>\n

In Britain, a government minister warned that honey bees could be extinct within a decade. A third of what we eat and much of what we wear is dependent on pollination by honeybees.<\/h2>\n

Brian MacCallum, who I knew from my younger days, has taken an interest in bee-keeping. He now has several books published. \u00a0Among them is\u00a0<\/a>A World Without Bees<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0written along with his partner, Alison Benjamin. \u00a0<\/em><\/h2>\n

It’s thanks to these authors amongst others that they are helping to make plain the impending disaster of losing our bee population. \u00a0The ecology of the world can be\u00a0both resilient and fragile. \u00a0The profit-driven motives of farmers in using harmful pesticides has to be curbed. \u00a0Of course, the earth will eventually heal itself, but we can help by increasing awareness within our own lifetimes.<\/h2>\n

The British Government has given permission to sow bee-endangering seeds across the country. \u00a0Take action now by signing the petition:<\/em><\/h3>\n
