Saving the Honeybees

Seeing as you've clicked on this blog -- Earth Harmony -- you might find this interesting. I'm pasting a link to an essay called "Colony Collapse Disorder: Do We Harvest What We Sow?" by Gunther Hauk:

He says, "The crisis that we now face with the honeybee is, in this writer's opinion, of no less significance than global warming. Much more than we can imagine depends on the presence and vitality of the honeybee population." Albert Einstein is reported to have said, "If honeybees become extinct, human society will follow in four years."

I've decided to delve into some serious research on this topic and develop a class on it. It's just another symptom of the insanity, the way humans are so completely disconnected from nature and reality. Fortunately, he is working toward a solution: www.spikenardfarm.org

If the topic interests you, he also has a book called Toward Saving the Honeybee.
