There is after all only a few thinking bee's, maybe the bee's have evolved to our manipulation of their use for the purposes of self preservation, rather than giving into the more primal attitudes that they had before.<BR/><BR/>I don't mean they are intelligent, but maybe, we have domesticated them a bit, is that possible?Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12659137985169833411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12349577.post-85786843371712866012007-05-24T01:46:00.000-04:002007-05-24T01:46:00.000-04:00Wind?And why the HELL! is my wickedpinto account s...Wind?<BR/><BR/>And why the HELL! is my wickedpinto account suddenly showing my first name?!Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12659137985169833411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12349577.post-40176302079632193092007-05-22T19:11:00.000-04:002007-05-22T19:11:00.000-04:00AFAIK pheromones effectiveness isn't reduced by te...AFAIK pheromones effectiveness isn't reduced by temperature changes of less than 1 degree.<BR/><BR/>If not global warming, or EM, then what?Purple Avengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11994076252416384045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12349577.post-29723904915607953502007-05-22T09:25:00.000-04:002007-05-22T09:25:00.000-04:00I don't buy em manipulation.

The broad navigation thing could have a lot of answers, but bee's exit the nest in a swarm, and cover all area's, and should be able to find there way back because of pheremones.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12659137985169833411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12349577.post-69875788591605236502007-05-21T21:52:00.000-04:002007-05-21T21:52:00.000-04:00I don't know if anyone is doing a control experime...I don't know if anyone is doing a control experiment in areas without cell coverage -- like the depths of the everglades where there's no houses and/or even roads.

The one parasite that they found in the dead bees has been known for a long time and hasn't had any known tendency to cause mass die offs among bee populations.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15138360416884607340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12349577.post-71924100997149825162007-05-20T12:04:00.000-04:002007-05-20T12:04:00.000-04:00Is anyone exploring this possibility seriously?The...<I>Is anyone exploring this possibility seriously?</I><BR/><BR/>There's no fat research grants in exploring possibilities that can't be blamed on BushCo ;->Purple Avengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11994076252416384045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12349577.post-54804280731058113222007-05-20T10:56:00.000-04:002007-05-20T10:56:00.000-04:00The connection of a shifting electromagnetic field...The connection of a shifting electromagnetic field of the earth with the disappearing bees occured to me as well along with a big uuuuhhhmmmmm.
