Bees Disappearing

Copyright (c) 2008 Ruth Tan

Some honey bee facts really deserved to be shared, after all so many healing and health-promoting opportunities for us humans start with this little busy creature. As you read the following 20 truths about honey bee, you will be so intrigued just like me by this tiny fellow’s extraordinary abilities.

1. The honey bee has been around for 30 million years.

2. It is the only insect that produces food eaten by man.

3. Honey bees are environmentally friendly and are critical as pollinators.

4. They are insects whcih are scientifically known as Apis mellifera.

5. They have 6 legs, 2 compound eyes made up of thousands of tiny lenses (one on each side of the head), 3 simple eyes on the top of the head, 2 wings, a nectar pouch, and a stomach.

6. The honeybee’s wings stroke 11,400 times per minute, thus making their distinctive buzz.

7. A honey bee can fly for up to six miles, and as fast as 15 miles per hour, hence it would have to fly around 90,000 miles – three times around the globe – to make one pound of honey.

8. The average honey bee will actually make only one twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.

9. It takes about 556 workers to gather 1 pound of honey from about 2 million flowers.

10. It takes one ounce of honey to fuel a bee’s flight around the world.

11. A honey bee visits 50 to 100 flowers during a collection trip.

12. A colony of bees consists of 20,000-60,000 honeybees and one queen.

13. Worker honey bees are female, live 6 to 8 weeks and do all the work.

14. The queen bee lives for about 2-3 years and is the only bee that lays eggs. She is the busiest in the summer months, when the hive needs to be at its maximum strength, and lays up to 2500 eggs per day. Click here to learn more about the Honey Bee Life Cycle,

15. The male honey bees are called drones, and they do no work at all, have no stinger, all they do is mating.

16. Each honey bee colony has a unique odour for members’ identification.

17. Only worker bees sting, and only if they feel threatened and they die once they sting. Queens have a stinger, but don’t leave the hive to help defend it.

18. It is estimated that 1100 honey bee stings are required to be fatal.

19. Honey bees communicate with one another by “dancing”.

20. During winter, honey bees feed on the honey they collected during the warmer months. They form a tight cluster in their hive to keep the queen and themselves warm.

Of these honey bee facts, No 19: Honey bees communicate with one another by “dancing” is perhaps the most memorable. And the most incredible to me is No 2: It is the only insect that produces edible food for man! The more I learnt about honey’s great creator -the honey bee itself, its highly organized society, how it acts with such intricate cooperation, and the various bee products, the more I admire and respect this amazing creature. It is no wonder why sometimes the colony is called a superorganism.

“Unique among all God’s creatures, only the honeybee improves the environment and preys not on any other species.” ~ Royden Brown

“If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live?” ~ Albert Einstein

The Bucks Herald The importance of honeybees It is reputed that Einstein wrote that ‘If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man’. It is a fact that honeybees are the only insects that produce food for humans. So a lot has been written recently about the plight of the honey bee. Most people do now understand about the multiple crises facing the bee population that continue to empty the hives: foulbrood; varroa mites; viral diseases; dysfunctional immune systems and now the mysterious but globally devastating colony collapse disorder (CCD). Most people also understand that the true value of the honey bee lies not so much in the sticky stuff that gives our favourite insect its name but in

This take is from the same day as “UFO-Bird?”, Feb 5th, but I actually see them almost everyday. It’s very difficult to say something about them: sometimes they are dim, their number changes from one second to the other, sometimes they fly like birds, other like bees others like butterflies. On one ocasion there were many, easy to be seen and I asked my brother (just got a camera two weeks ago, this was before) “Do you see some birds flying on top of that building?” He could not, for him there was nothing flying on top of that building, and I was seeing them (that’s why I needed a camera!), after having the camera there was nothing flying on top of that building and I started to film… the screen of the camera was full of birds and I could see nothing with my naked eye on the building. On another ocasion I could see one of those “birds” leaving the spot, flying towards me (I’m about 300 meters from that building) and in just about one or two seconds it was at about 20 meters or less from me (It would take more than 20 seconds to get that close), it looked like a black butterfly and just disappeared in plain air. The expèrience of being watching them is so crazy, so “insane”, that it fells like if creatures from a dream are getting into this dimension ’cause they don’t obey at any physical law that we know. On another ocasion I saw a black butterfly flying form point A to point B, disappearing and just in that moment the exact same butterfly with the exact same movement …

One of the many great benefits we get from bees is the Bee Pollen.

Wildlife campaigners today called for urgent research into the links between the chemicals and the collapse of bee colonies around the world. John Paul II 1978- 2005 “In the early 1940`s, the IG Farben Chemical Company employed a Polish salesman who sold cyanide to the Nazis for use in Auschwitz. The same salesman also worked as a chemist in the manufacture of the poison gas. This same cyanide gas along with Pesticides, Zyklon B and malathion was used to exterminate millions of Jews and other groups. Their bodies were then burned to ashes in the ovens. After the war the salesman, fearing for his life, joined the Catholic Church and was ordained a priest in 1946. One of his closest friends was Dr. Wolf Szmuness, the mastermind behind the Nov./78 to Oct./79 and March/80 to Oct./81 experimental hepatitis B vaccine trials conducted by the Center for Disease Control in New York, San Francisco and four other American cities that loosed the plague of AIDS upon the American people. The salesman was ordained Poland`s youngest bishop in 1958. After a 30-day reign his predecessor was assassinated and our ex-cyanide gas salesman assumed the papacy as POPE JOHN PAUL II.” -William Cooper, BEHOLD A PALE HORSE, (Light Technology Publishing, 1991), pp.89-90. Scientists are baffled by Britain’s disappearing honeybees. Since the 1980s numbers have fallen by half. The new study, led by Dr Jeffrey Pettis, one of the US’s top bee experts, found that exposure to a class of pesticides called neo …

Monday, January 17th 2011 Hi, how are you? Hope you’re doing good today. Matthew 24:6-7 “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in various places” What makes our time period different from all other time periods in the history of humanity?…We have the capabilites to see prophecies and signs as they happen. Thousands of years ago, even hundreds of years ago, the Biblical Prophecies could not fulfill themselves because there was no way for ALL people of the world to see the signs happening. There was no internet, world wide web, television, radios, iphone, or ipads hundreds or thousands of years ago. Even though wars have always taken place, earthquakes have always happened and pestilence has always existed..It’s not until this specific time that we are ALL able to witness it taking place within hours of it happening. That’s why I believe the signs we’re seeing now are Biblical Prophecy, meant specifically for our Generation!
