The Bee-pocalypse: Another Scare Story the Media Got Wrong 

Somebody has to ask: what was the first?

​@@MrHeuvaladao I'm curious too

@@MrHeuvaladao making my ex go through with the divorce

Getting off of Social Media too helps.

I stopped watching the news years ago. I became tired of being manipulated: the news always plays on the same emotions -- fear, anger, and resentment.

I've gotten into the habit of asking environmentalists and journalists if they can even see a tree outside their window from their city apartment or office when they start going on about some environmentalism issue. If they actually claim to be able to see even one tree at all (for some reason they never deny that they live in a city apartment or work in a city office), I ask them how many trees they've planted in their entire life, and that always shuts them up for good because of course the answer is zero. Meanwhile I'm surrounded by forests for miles around, and I've personally planted hundreds of trees in my lifetime, along with growing and raising countless other living things as my profession. Environmentalists are always city dwellers, they never actually do anything except burn coal to power their cobalt mine smart phone so they can whine online about my truck that moves the food they eat to market.

There is no place I hate more in this world than large cities.

Colorado just introduced wolfs thanks to denver

Yeah because the megacorps that dominate farming knows better. The family farmer Old McDonald crap is a dying meme.

@@Nope_handlesaretrash Thanks for burning that coal, city dweller. The miners thank you.

Yes. Didn't the media say that the killer bees were moving from the south and taking out village and city as they travelled kill millions?

And acid rain

Hey I actually almost was killed by killer bees. Arizona lol.

I'm an old fartette!

Oh man I remember that, but they never materialized just like every climate crisis

It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

@Gordonthorne A passionate rebuttal. 😂

Government.

I thought plants, trees, grass, etc., absorbed CO2 and turned it into oxygen, is that why it's called green house gas?

The Genetic Literacy Project had been previously exposed as a shell corporation for Monsantos, an agricultural biotechnology company that produces chemicals to spray on plants. Also, why are there no scientists in this video?

These groups still get funding from the WEF, world governments, and other political groups!

@@83licata grifters going to grifter bc it works, unfortunately

Nor could govt and their Corp pals use this to push lab food.

@@gillianmurphy2111 Why did the bees go on strike? Because they wanted more honey and shorter working flowers.

And they'll never harm their, lucrative, 'problem solving' effort, with a real solution either. Then they would be out of a 'job'. It's like a psychiatrist, diagnosing you with a problem and then saying you need to see me every week or month until I tell you you're cured, what is the incentive for them to say you are cured?

My favorite You Tube Channel!!!

Thank God for John Stossel and those following his footsteps.

this! sooo True.

except here he's well out of date. the news reported years ago that bees were dying, and people figured out how to prevent it (and those measures were also reported in the news), and now they're not dying in anywhere near as large numbers and we're pretty good at replacing the ones that are still dying. this was all reported on the news.

YES! ❤ I’m always sharing his content with friends and family

"It never occurred to me that this bee extinction story is bullshyt." And you're a paratrooper? God forbid that you are a 35F or 35G.

Yep

And they never correct it. They just blame us for another problem and demand more control and tax funding.

@@RWebster325 I’m not a paratrooper.

@@alitlweird Are you a member of the 11th Airborne Division? Otherwise it is extremely misleading.

Dont forget when we entered the year 2000 the world was suppose to end !

bill gates 😈still doing his vaccine🤢🤮🥵🥶

Don't forget covid and if just 15% got the shot and you combine that with the number already infected we would develop herd immunity and be back to normal within 2-3 months. When that didn't happen it was "if you don't get the jab the virus is going to mutate into something uncontrollable and everyone will die". Then when that didn't happen they said "what normally happens with this type of thing is over time the virus becomes weaker as more people get it." "The hospitals were overflowing" literally my entire extended family is made up of nurses and they all said that was completely untrue, not to mention hospitals are not designed to have 500 rooms sitting empty. They are designed to be somewhat full at all times. They supposedly had semi trucks full of dead bodies in NYC and you were gonna be next if you didn't get the jab. Then as per usual they specifically targeted the minority races to go get the jab but forgot to mention they were more susceptible to the virus because they are more likely to be deficient in vitamin d due to their darker complexion. They forgot to mention we have 4% of the world population and after all the ridiculous shutdowns and safety protocols for almost 3 years we somehow had 16% of the deaths worldwide. My local tractor supply removed ivermectin from the shelves to prevent people from buying it, my local subway put a big sign up in their window that said you couldn't come in without proof of vaccination, the walmart I worked at as a contractor had managers walk around to people at 3am confirming they were wearing masks even though nobody was anywhere near anyone else, except for the managers going from person to person all night long confirming they had their mask cinched up tight while the store was at 76 degrees inside, dont forget the national parks that would sic park police/rangers after you if you weren't wearing your mask OUTSIDE. Then after 3 years of hell the corporations were seeing dollar signs with all of those stimulus checks that were "supposed to help" and before you knew it almost everybody was more poor than they were before the checks, paying almost $6 for a gallon of gas and groceries, houses, cars, and interest rates through the roof, while the rich had their wealth skyrocket like never before. Maybe, just maybe it wasn't and never will be actually about staying happy and healthy.

When I was 20, "they" said, I the world population ever reached 4 billion people,, there would be mass starvation. There is close to 8 billion people now and less starvation.

Gen X here, and growing up in the '80s, we assumed we were going to get nuked . . . we just said "screw it" and lived our lives.

It's been that what since our "leaders" realized they can vote themselves pay raises.

You must understand humans. #1 99% are lazy. Do you think your doctor spends even I hour a year researching independent information on the meds they prescribe? Same with scientists, educators, etc.

Yes!

Everything in our lives is one corrupt mess, from politics to healthcare to environmental problems, everything!

it always was corrupt

Greed & stupidity go hand in hand....

The socialist/marxist/communist/democrat ideology has perfected their ability to manipulate and capitalize on human stupidity, gullibility, intellectual laziness, and greed.

Yep, but it should be expected from those lemmings. They lack the self-awareness and the critical thinking skills to reflect on themselves. Useful idiots. Then of course there's the bad actors who know exactly what they're doing, and they try keep the grift going as hard and long as possible.

Spot on 👍

Are you referring to mRNA vaccines? Surely you realize that mRNA is a short-lived molecule that is not used as genetic material in eukaryotes like ourselves. How does the introduction of mRNA to a human cell constitute genetic modification?

Exactly

Are you referring to mRNA vaccines? Please explain how they become incorporated into nuclear DNA. Thanks.

You meant to write "...the better we'll bee"

What does splitting the colonies do? Reduce crowding? Add mite resistance to the gene pool?

​@@70smusicfanatic34😂

Back in the 70s when Dad (a PhD entomologist) and I were keeping bees, we had problems with varroa mites. They seem to come and go as a problem. Where I live now, managing fire ants around bee hives can be quite the challenge.

... the better we will bee. Sincerely, thank you for your comment.

Tbf they hyped this up in such a whiney and annoying way that it made me not care and just ignore it anyways.

​@@kishascapethey do that with everything, mate. From when they talk about China and immigration, to the climate and the economy.

They are just plain liars.

They are the propaganda arm of the socialist/marxist/communist/democrat totalitarian ideology.

it was that American honeybee hives were being swarmed and taken over by the africanized killer bees.. it produced a hybrid but IDK if American honeybees are around as much or if that was over-hype as well..

@@BEAUTYnIQ The traditional honey bee isn't even native to the Americas. They're an invasive species. How did the indigenous people of the Americas even develop the corn, potatoes and beans that we all eat today without honey bees? It's a damn miracle.....or the whole bee apocalypse narrative is just that. A story to scare the hell out of us.

Yep. There were also stories of being out of oil by the early 90’s, the ozone hole was going to wipe us out, and the new ice age would have us covered in ice sheets again within ten years.

Stories like that keep buzzing around. (Rim shot). 😝😝😝😝😝😝😎😎😎😎😎🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍👍👍

@@BEAUTYnIQ : While there is some validity to the Africanization of American bee colonies a major fact is often left out by the fake news. African or Africanized honey bees are not cold tolerant. They cannot exist above certain point in America. There are companies that hatch high quality queens for apiaries to use. Due to American bee keepers, they are being weeded out. Remember that the real danger is an Africanized queen which can live perhaps two to three years tops. American bee keeps monitor their queens and usually replace them every two years or so. So American colonies stay safe. The American bee keeping activity is quite safe.

They have removed old documentaries that do not fit the WEF agenda.

They spent 30 years telling us an abused gorilla can communicate.

I noticed and cancelled in the 80s.

I used to love nat geo, not anymore! They're complete leftists now. Same with the majority of the national park service, the EPA, the CDC, even the FBI and CIA.

@@dallasmore6703 Sigh. Apart from “Global Warming”, they were still pretty solid & neutral on most issues, particularly geopolitical ones, until after 9/11. I was just reading an issue from 2000 about an excellent interview with Gaddafi & how he clearly had been doing his best to reform Libya. I wouldn’t be surprised if that article has been obfuscated, made hard to find, if not outright removed, from their digital archives, as that’s counter to Washington’s narrative since 2011.

I saw a small group of masked covidians yesterday at the Wally world .

wait ... -😂😂😂

That's what I was thinking 🤔

The bees were so tired of racism and white supremacy, they just started dying.

@@engineerinhickorystripehat9475coronites

Haha! That's a good point!

Was there a solar event? I guess I'm doing pretty good avoiding the mainstream folks. . . 😊

@@Friend0fBill You're far better off!

LOL ... A cat 4 level solar storm turned out to be a cat 5... Like the kind that could destroy the power grid and you think that's what was overblown? Out of all the garbage on the media, the Sun is actually able to give us a Carrington event that'll destroy life as we know it for up to a decade or more...

@@Friend0fBill There was a big solar event. Actually quite huge. I got some cool photos of the sun spots afterwards with a solar filter on my camera. Sadly the weather did not cooperate to let me see the auroras. Potentially it might have disrupted some communications satellites. I don't know if it did because I wasn't following that story, but it was a thing. What the media won't say is that increased solar activity during this current solar maximum is the reason why the weather's been a bit warm these past few years, and when it's over, the Earth will cool down again. Soon they'll just be saying that human activities are causing global cooling somehow and the only solution is communism.

Right you are (I used to work at a bee lab).

The real issue is moving the bees. That contributes more to CCD that other factors. Varroa mites are easier to control. Tracheal mites on the other hand....a real problem.

@@wrongfullyaccused7139Nah haven’t you been paying attention. There is NOTHING that will cause big losses. 😅 /s

@@davidw.2791 : False. I think I'm the only one paying attention. Losses among bee keepers that move their bees to almond orchards are very thoroughly documented. Almonds cannot self fertilize. They must have honeybees to fertilize the trees. Since the locals don't raise enough bees to do the job themselves, hundreds of bee keepers move their hives directly to the orchards. If the trees pollinate, they get paid. If not they don't. It is a very well documented industry. However, the difference in the loss is due to something artificial, not natural. Bee hives are not supposed to be moved around because it stresses the colony. If a bee keeper wants, or needs, to move a hive of their own on their own property it is accomplished by moving the hive ten feet per day until the final resting place is reached. That way the bees suffer no ill effects. Oh and by the way. Goodbye.

@@wrongfullyaccused7139 Goodbye to you too, mister/ms so high and mighty you don’t even know what “/s” means. 🤷🏻‍♂️

All pesticides are not the same. Also the bee population, as shown in the video is not only fine, it's way more than it was in 1960. Did you even watch the video? We need science not 'I would say' based on your hobby.

@Norvik_-ug3ge Get out of here with your attitude about "science." Who's bees do the scientists study? Beekeepers! We're commercial Beekeepers, not a hobby. Did you read my comment? I plainly state all the obstacles bees have overcome in the past 40 years. And, the bees that aren't around mass farms are thriving. The bees that go to California's almonds don't do well, then come home and spread sicknesses to local bees. I'm not against pesticides. However, it's harmful for bees sprayed/ up wind from it. How many hives do you have? How long have you been a beekeeper?

And that is why I see hives all over commercial orchards?

How do you know what he says is the truth?

@@stevemurray7862 he's saying what they want to hear so it must be 'the truth'.....

Doesn’t he show his sources? I believe he does show his sources, if you listen to this video

@@alphagt62 it is easy to cherry pick sources.

​@@rebeccalynn7795 You sound like an expert....

Good idea.

We cancelled our TV subscription in 2013. Never looked back. You don't need it anymore. I also prefer to watch older shows because there's not as much propaganda in them. This new stuff bores me to tears. I also don't have Facebook. Or Instagram. Or Twitter. Strangely, I'm better informed on many topics than most... that's what happens when you become selective about what enters your mind.

Not irrelevent, EVIL.

There's a similar benefit from giving up watching criminals exercise, otherwise known as "sports."

@@pgramsey1 You beat me to it! I stopped watching sports in general when angela davis's boy started kneeling in the NFL preseason 2016. I'd already stopped watching Formula one a few years before because it had gotten insufferably woke, and with all the extra time I have and massively reduced exposure to crap commercials my life is better. I also cut the cable cord at the beginning of 2017. Much better for the mind and soul.

@@sergioleone3583 sorry but dumb to stop watching and enjoying sports over someone kneeling out of thousands of players. Non-issue nowadays. The whole boycott kind of dumb also as NFL never been more popular. I don't know why anyone cares what someone is doing during anthem. Not to mention our government and military are a joke anyways. No reason to support them either.

Same. 👍 Nothing but lies & propaganda.

propaganda machines. Every single one of them, whether left or right.

Nope, it has always been this way. The 24 hour news cycle and the internet just made it obvious.

Not that any of us with a working brain really cared about this to begin with. There’s tons of bee propaganda, like that flowers and plants can spread without them.

@@kishascape I know. And I'm sure those "media true believers" will still buy in.

You WANT him to spout a blatant false narrative? It's as embarrassing a thing to say "I guess y2k was made up", when obviously y2k wasn't a problem, because enough awareness was raised to fix the problem. Same goes for the Bee issue. There's plenty of well documented proof there was INDEED a problem, but because of how scary that threat was, tons of awareness was raised, solutions were implemented, and changes were made to the industry, and the problems have effectively been mitigated.

@@GrumpDog tell us you didn't watch the presented evidence without saying it. Breathe.

@@user-oo5be4xs4w Your evidence does not disprove all other existing evidence which says otherwise.

ALL the magazines I used to read became irrelevant to me decades ago. And they are still pushing the left propaganda. And have been wrong on EVERYTHING.

I was shown a film strip (remember those?) in first grade. It was all about how killer bees were almost to America. They showed an animation that they were in northern Mexico and near the Arizona border where I lived. I remember watching my dad mow the lawn scared that killer bees would come out of some hive and attack him. Bizarre.

Comparing gmo foods to acute allergic reactions is totally off base though. That's like saying well red dye hasn't killed us yet so let's just put it in everything.

@fewworddotrick Not really. I'm just point out that pages of regulations and vast sums of money were spent with no measurable benefit. While on the other hand, an issue that impacted a clearly identifiable population in a potentially life-threatening way was ignored.

It would be a shame for the little people, but when the crop yields go south, maybe we can get sanity like they did in SriLanka but this time the architects are caught and prosecuted.

The honey bees are highly invasive, they are doing it because they are non-native however, it's a problem they can never control no matter how many hives they kill.

yah and now they🤢🤢 want the TASMANIAN TIGER BACK😏😒🙄😬😮‍💨🤥🤤

Thank you! I have noticed I haven't seen any carpenter bees in a couple of years. I only mow every 2 weeks. The grass gets used to it. I also don't freak out over weeds. Once they're mowed, they blend in with the grass.

And don't freak out when they take harborage in or around your property. People have this weird disconnect from nature these days.

Thank you for pointing this out. Some plants are not pollinated as well by honey bees and the wild other bees are what these plants need.

@@barrym2112 many creatures are pollinators, even male mosquitoes, not all are as effective though.

See, if that’s true, why can’t they report that in the media? That’s manageable, it’s actionable, and it’s hopeful. Incidentally, I put in 1000 ft.² of native flowering plants in my yard, the pollinators that show up are unbelievable. Butterflies too. It’s really great. Thanks for sharing.

Careful, you're on the edge there, and we complain when the mainstream media gets on the edge.

How many species of bees ARE native to the Americas? How many species of bees produce honey?

In other words its a normal part of beekeeping?

@@jimmy_kirk Only one kind of bee makes honey, and their native to the Mediterranean across to East Asia. There are lots of native species of bees, wasps, ants, hornets, mosquitoes, flies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators in the Americas and the rest of the world. Lots of plants can pollinate by wind alone. Honeybees are not the keystone species they are made out to bee.

@@litigioussociety4249 Do bumble bees make honey?

Which was probably the goal of the progressives who want to depopulate Earth in every way possible.

WRONG.

Yeah, they are highly invasive on top of being easy to cultivate when you know what you're doing. But also they just aren't as important as they are made out to be.

Yea as long as you are treating them to kill the veroa mites. While treating them wasnt really needed before. Things did sadly change.

@@remco6816 incorrect. I've come across infested hives, I have collected them and put them in boxes and took them home. Yet somehow without treating, my hives never became infested. Some bees are hygienic, some aren't. Trying to manage it just helps the unhygienic bees continue on.

The hole in the ozone layer is there, sometimes. It's mostly gone away, though, because the legislation banning the chemicals harmful to it was effective. Same with acid rain.

The ozone hole is the one example where there was actually a serious problem, and sufficient global effort to ban the chemicals causing it. The hole started shrinking after the problem chems were banned.

Be careful of the information you get. Everyone has an agenda.

"Raw honey contains antioxidants, bee pollen, and bee propolis, which may provide a range of health benefits." Precious few of these alleged benefits have been demonstrated in peer-reviewed scientific study, despite there being quite a bit of money to be made by doing so. Believe you me, if Big Pharma could make money selling you locally-harvested honey as a prescription medication, they would. They can't, though, because these claims are bologna.

​@@colorocko1Yes everyone does wild bee population is not recovering, only farmed bees.

That’s correct! Honeybees are an invasive species. They are literally European colonizers! I thought these folks hated those.

lot of the stories was a mixing of informations from various bees. they would switch back describing native bees dying to honey bees.

Governments have done this throughout history. Create the crisis and then offer the broken solution. It is still true today. 2020 was the perfect example of that.

Don't hold your breath for an apology from ANY of these liars! They get their money pushing their various grifts and they don't want that to stop.
