Thanks for the article link. Of course, not surprised that there are larger interest groups that manipulate the news.Hook Mountain Growershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02047374887165826338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420871845813973733.post-20932824220401412312010-10-16T11:31:45.154-04:002010-10-16T11:31:45.154-04:00Great and important post!

Everything is interconnected and humans cannot get away with the damage they consciously do to nature for more profit... Unfortunately those who are responsible don't seem to care.chamomillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00152926086097566964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420871845813973733.post-64971489681937843482010-10-15T18:54:17.112-04:002010-10-15T18:54:17.112-04:00If bees are succeptible to certain chemical,human ...If bees are succeptible to certain chemical,human too should be affected. It is just we don't see them in short term effect. I read in newpaper that cancer is a fairly recent disease due to now human environment and lifestyle. A research compare with a number of old bones or mummies in different past era shows that cancer is a very rare thing in the past.Malay-Kadazan girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692400837667241873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420871845813973733.post-33743498272773547212010-10-15T11:51:09.539-04:002010-10-15T11:51:09.539-04:00Those chemicals can be scary.Those chemicals can be scary.tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420871845813973733.post-36475739307496345532010-10-15T11:07:15.505-04:002010-10-15T11:07:15.505-04:00I've been following the collapse of bee coloni...I've been following the collapse of bee colonies for the last few years and if they can find a definitive reason, that would be remarkable.

I plant marigolds around the border of my vegetable garden to invite the bees close, to help pollinate the vegetable plants. A dwindling of the bee populations cannot be a good thing for any of us.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.com
