PARASITE TIED TO GLOBAL BEE DEATHS

The sudden collapse of honeybee colonies around the world, a condition identified in 2004, is most likely caused by the parasite Nosema ceranae, not the human causes alleged by environmental activist groups, Spanish researchers have reported in Environmental Microbiology Reports, a journal of the Society for Applied Microbiology.

The researchers reached their conclusion after studying a large number of affected colonies and finding Nosema ceranae as the only common thread among them:

In April, Dr. Mariano Higes, lead researcher at the Bee Pathology Laboratory in Spain, announced scientists had found the likely cause. The parasite Nosema ceranae was found in all the bee populations they studied.

Once that was discovered, the Spanish science team introduced fumagillin -- an antibiotic -- into the affected bee colonies. It cleared the parasite and halted colony collapse. Many colonies began to rebuild their numbers shortly thereafter.

This is the same thing that happened with frogs when amphibians were declining, says H. Sterling Burnett, a senior fellow at the National Center for Policy Analysis. The environmental activists were quick to point their finger at global warming, pesticides and other human activities, when it turned out entirely natural factors were the cause.

Of course, after the activists' media allies sounded the alarm that pesticides and global warming are killing frogs and bees, they became strangely silent about reporting the exculpatory evidence that natural factors are to blame, says Burnett. The general public has no idea that humans in fact were not to blame, unless they subscribe to and read academic journals.

in professional apiaries

So it's not strictly true to say it had nothing to do with humans. ;)

Well there was a lot of talk about how commercial bee hives had unnaturally large cells and this played a part in allowing the parasites to thrive. Seems CCD was not effecting "organic" be colonies.

If you remember, a few years back in CA it was "all the amphibians in the high Sierra lakes were dissappearing" followed by "it's caused by [insert current chemical or electromagnetic cause here].

Turned out it was/is Fish and Game aerialy seeding the high altitude lakes with trout...

Bring on the Depression. Bring it the F*** ON! If digging ditches and eating beans for a few years is what it takes for me to see some worthless sacks of crap bankers and politicians living in sack cloth and being spat upon by my fellow Americans well... where's my shovel?!?!
