According To Agriculture Canada, There Is NO Bee Crisis …
Did you know that …
CANADA'S HONEY YIELD IS
TWICE THE WORLD'S AVERAGE ?
That's not surprising considering that Canada's wide open spaces, clean natural environment and weather offer perfect conditions for nectar production.
Long days of summer sunshine in Canada's northern climate provide access to bountiful flowering crops that attract a growing number of honeybees.
The result ?
Beautiful golden honey loved by consumers in 27 countries worldwide.

Facts About Bee Health And Pesticides
√ FACT ― According to Agriculture Canada, there is NO bee crisis since CANADA'S HONEY YIELD IS TWICE THE WORLD'S AVERAGE.
√ FACT ― According to a U.S. FEDERAL STUDY, there is NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT A PROHIBITION against Neonicotinoid Insecticides, and that THE COSTS OF PROHIBITION MIGHT EXCEED THE BENEFITS.
√ FACT ― Bee Colony Collapse Disorder is NOT AS BAD AS IT IS MADE OUT.
√ FACT ― Bee Colony Collapse Disorder will simply lead to a PRICE INCREASE for consumers.
√ FACT ― Bee colony numbers were HIGHER in 2010 than any year since 1999.
√ FACT ― Bee deaths are NOTHING NEW since HEAVY LOSSES have been reported in 1853, 1891, 1896, 1960s, 1975, 1998, 2000, and 2005.
√ FACT ― Bee-Keepers are LIKELY KILLING THEIR OWN BEES WITH TOXIC FORMIC ACID MITICIDE.
√ FACT ― Bee-Keepers have actively rebuilt their colonies in response to increased mortality from Bee Colony Collapse Disorder.
√ FACT ― Canadian Honey Council, representing Bee-Keepers all across Canada, ACTIVELY OPPOSES PROHIBITION against Neonicotinoid Insecticides, arguing that the harm to growers would be SUBSTANTIAL, and that there will be NO NOTABLE CHANGE in bee mortality.
√ FACT ― Even IF all bees were to die ( which they are not ), other insects would step in and take over a large part of the pollination, and growers would switch to more self-pollinating plant varieties.
√ FACT ― If PROHIBITION is IMPOSED, there is a HIGH PROBABILITY many corn growers would switch to other insecticides that are MUCH MORE HARMFUL TO BEES AND ENVIRONMENT.
√ FACT ― MOST Bee-Keepers HAVE NOT experienced excessive losses in recent years.
√ FACT ― Neonicotinoid Insecticides were PROHIBITED in France in the 1990s, and there was NO MARKED REDUCTION in Bee Colony Collapse Disorder.
√ FACT ― Resolving the issues surrounding Bee Colony Collapse Disorder is NOT a simple matter of just PROHIBITING against Neonicotinoid Insecticides.
√ FACT ― Science and statistics DO NOT SUPPORT DEMANDS to PROHIBIT against Neonicotinoid Insecticides used in agriculture.
√ FACT ― Statistics Canada reports that the number of honey bee colonies ARE UP, NOT DOWN, in the Province of Ontario and across Canada.
√ FACT ― Successful and careful Bee-Keepers say that skilled bee-keeping and Varroa management, coupled with quality hygiene, ( the same principles which apply for livestock and poultry producers ) is WHAT IS ACTUALLY NEEDED TO ENSURE HIVE SURVIVAL AND PRODUCTIVITY.
√ FACT ― The MOST LIKELY CAUSES of bee deaths is the Varroa Mite and associated Viruses.
√ FACT ― The quotation « If the bee disappeared off the surface of the Earth, man would have no more than four years to live » that was WRONGLY ATTRIBUTED to Physicist Albert Einstein, and was actually CONCOCTED BY LYING BEE-KEEPERS.
√ FACT ― There are MEANINGFUL BENEFITS from Neonicotinoid Insecticides.
√ FACT ― The REAL CAUSES of bee mortality in recent years are Varroa Mites and Nosema Fungal Disease.
√ FACT ― There is NO Bee-Apocalypse ― we may have SOME BEE-PROBLEMS, but NOT a Bee-Apocalypse.

Background Information From An Independent Perspective
Is There Any Connection Between Neonicotinoid Insecticides And Long-Term Honey Bee Losses ?
Overall, there is NO LEGITIMATE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST A LINK between Neonicotinoid Insecticides and long-term honey bee losses in Canada.
There is NO GEOGRAPHICAL CORRELATION between long-term bee losses and insecticide use.
Although some Neonicotinoid Insecticides are toxic to bees upon direct con-tact ( as are many insecticides ), they are used in a way that MINIMIZES ANY DIRECT EXPOSURE TO BEES.
Under normal field use, THE EXPOSURE TO BEES IS AT VERY LOW LEVELS, FAR TOO LOW TO CAUSE HARMFUL EFFECTS.
Independent, long-term, controlled field tests have repeatedly shown NO EFFECTS on bee mortality, weight gain, worker longevity, brood development, honey yield, and over-winter survival relative to bees in areas where treated seed was not used.
Many of these studies have been published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at international conferences.

Background Information From An Independent Perspective
The Bee-Keeper Industry ― Here Is What Is Known
Here is a summary of what is known about the Bee-Keeper Industry ―
• Bee-Keepers are the LEAST CREDIBLE and the LEAST QUALIFIED to provide any advice concerning Neonicotinoid Insecticides, and therefore, CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
• Bee Colony Collapse Disorder is the FAULT of Bee-Keepers and their MIS-MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. http://wp.me/P1jq40-2BA
• Bee-Keepers all over North America are LYING and CHEATING by using ILLEGAL and UNREGISTERED pest control products, like AMITRAZ. http://wp.me/p1jq40-70c http://wp.me/p1jq40-2ba
• Bee-Keepers appear to be UNABLE or UNWILLING to get their major pest problems under control, such as VARROA MITES, leading observers to conclude that Bee-Keepers may NOT BE COMPETENT to handle their businesses, and may be WHOLLY UNSUITED to be raising bees. http://wp.me/p1jq40-6WJ
• Bee-Keepers are blaming insecticides as a PLOY TO DISTRACT the public and Government Officials from the REAL PROBLEMS OF BEE-KEEPERS, such as BOTULISM, a paralytic illness that can be FATAL and KILLS INFANTS. http://wp.me/p1jq40-77N
• Bee-Keepers are CONTINUOUSLY STEALING from other Bee-Keepers, and have essentially been described as a mere bunch of THIEVING RUSTLERS. http://wp.me/p1jq40-73I http://wp.me/p1jq40-78s
• Bee-Keepers are conveniently overlooking the fact that coated corn seed renders insecticides INACCESSIBLE and HARMLESS and REDUCED RISK to bees. http://wp.me/p1jq40-6WJ
• Bee-Keepers are HARMING bees, and NOT Neonicotinoid Insecticides. http://wp.me/P1jq40-2BA
• Bee-Keepers are ILLEGALLY USING PRODUCTS LIKE AMITRAZ which is known to cause CANCER, and is known to KILL people. http://wp.me/p1jq40-70c http://wp.me/p1jq40-2ba
• Bee-Keepers are WRONG about Neonicotinoid Insecticides since the weight of the scientific evidence clearly shows that they CAUSE NO HARM TO BEES. http://wp.me/p1jq40-6H8
• Bee-Keepers avoid admitting that agricultural FUGITIVE DUST may be ONLY ONE OF SEVERAL POSSIBLE ROUTES OF BEE EXPOSURE to pest control products. http://wp.me/p1jq40-6WJ
• Bee-Keepers fail to admit that there are only an INFINITESIMALLY SMALL NUMBER OF BEE LOSSES that actually caused by Neonicotinoid Insecticides. http://wp.me/P1jq40-2BA
• Bee-Keepers HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING, leading some observers to conclude that Bee-Keepers may NOT BE COMPETENT TO RAISE BEES. http://wp.me/p1jq40-77N
• Bee-Keepers KNOW ALMOST NOTHING ABOUT PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS.
• Bee-Keepers know full well that VARROA MITES are the primary problem associated with bee mortality, and NOT Neonicotinoid Insecticides. http://wp.me/p1jq40-6WJ
• Bee-Keepers produce THE ONLY KNOW FOOD PRODUCT that has been proven to be LINKED TO INFANT BOTULISM AND DEATH. http://wp.me/p1jq40-77N http://wp.me/p1jq40-76J
• Bee-Keepers use ILLEGAL, UNREGISTERED, DEADLY, and CANCER-CAUSING products, like AMITRAZ, and thus, Bee-Keepers are producing potentially DANGEROUS HONEY. http://wp.me/p1jq40-70c http://wp.me/p1jq40-2ba
• If Bee-Keepers are CAPABLE OF LYING AND CHEATING AND STEALING AS BEE RUSTLERS, then they are also capable of LYING AND CHEATING with their public statements against insecticides. http://wp.me/p1jq40-73I http://wp.me/p1jq40-78s
• Neonicotinoid Insecticides are NOT killing bees, the Bee-Keepers themselves ARE KILLING THEIR OWN BEES. ( See next segment. )

Background Information From An Independent Perspective
Bee-Keeper Pitchfork Rebellion
Bee-Keepers are ABSOLUTELY WRONG about bee mortalities !
Their ALLEGATIONS are SO RIDICULOUS that observers are beginning to speculate with the following proposed scenario about the dead bees contaminated with insecticide …
THE BEE-KEEPERS DELIBERATELY KILLED THEIR BEES
WITH NEONICOTINOID INSECTICIDES.
In 2012 and 2013, when Heath Canada visited Bee-Keepers to evaluate their dead bees, THERE WAS NO LEGITIMATE CHAIN OF CUSTODY FOR THE SAMPLES OF DEAD BEES THAT WERE ALLEGEDLY POISONED BY INSECTICIDE.
How is this possible ?
Ant-Pesticide Bee-Keepers are like RELIGIOUS-EXTREMISTS who harm themselves by setting themselves on fire.
Anti-Pesticide Bee-Keepers are rising up against government, and Health Canada, in a TWISTED ENVIRO-LUNATIC VERSION of the PITCHFORK REBELLION.
BEE-KEEPERS DELIBERATELY KILLED THEIR BEES
WITH THE MALICIOUS INTENT OF COERCING AND
INTIMIDATING GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS INTO
PROHIBITING PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS.
Observers believe Anti-Pesticide Bee-Keepers would POISON themselves and their bees, just like in Oregon, with another PITCHFORK REBELLION led by Enviro-Lunatic Day Owens at Triangle Lake, in Oregon.
Day Owen and several other Triangle Lake Enviro-Lunatics tested higher than normal for ingredients like atrazine and 2,4-D herbicides.
Nonetheless, the Triangle Lake test results were still within the safety range according to the State Pesticide Department.
Observers have indicated that it is NO MERE COINCIDENCE that their levels were greater than most tested.
In all likelihood, these Triangle Lake lunatics DRANK THE HERBICIDES with the MALICIOUS INTENT OF COERCING AND INTIMIDATING GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS INTO PROHIBITING INSECTICIDES.
This scenario is EXTREMELY PROBABLE.
After all, Anti-Pesticide Bee-Keepers are EXTREMISTS who are KNOWN TO BE LYING SACKS OF CWAP.
BEE-KEEPERS TAMPERED WITH THE SAMPLES
PROVIDED TO HEALTH CANADA.
In all likelihood, a small number of Anti-Pesticide Bee-Keepers, mostly in Ontario, POISONED THEIR BEES with Neonicotinoid Insecticides for the same objectives.
This scenario is also EXTREMELY PROBABLE.
Overall, throughout the rest of the world, there is NO LEGITIMATE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE THAT SUGGESTS A LINK between Neonicotinoid Insecticides and bee deaths, or Bee Colony Collapse Disorder.
These scenarios are possibilities that have not yet been proven.
At the very least, Health Canada should consider these possibilities during its investigation.
However, Health Canada should further investigate as to WHY ONLY A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF BEE-KEEPERS WERE AFFECTED.
Between April and June 2012, Health Canada received only A SMALL NUMBER OF REPORTS OF BEE LOSSES from across southern Ontario, involving a MERE 40 BEE-KEEPERS, as well as 1 report from Quebec.
At present, there are 2,900 Bee-Keepers in Ontario, therefore, the affected Bee-Keepers represent less than 1.5 per cent of all Bee-Keepers in Ontario.
In 2013, Health Canada said it continued to receive A VERY SMALL NUMBER of bee mortality reports from both corn- and soybean-growing regions of Ontario and Quebec, as well as Manitoba.
Again, WHY ARE ONLY A VERY SMALL NUMBER OF BEE-KEEPERS AFFECTED ?!?!
WHY ARE MERE UNSCIENTIFIC REPORTS FROM BEE-KEEPERS CONSIDERED AS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT A DECISION FROM HEALTH CANADA ?!?!
WHY HASN'T HEALTH CANADA INVESTIGATED THE TAMPERING OF SAMPLES BY BEE-KEEPERS ?!?!
Moreover, Health Canada should be TESTING the Bee-Keepers' RESIDENCES and CLOTHING for residue.
Observers point out to how much money the Bee-Keepers will make once they LAUNCH A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT that is supported by the POLITICALLY-MOTIVATED results of a Health Canada investigation.
Anti-Pesticide Lunatic Bee-Keepers will SAY ANYTHING and DO ANYTHING in order to INCREASE THE PROFIT of their VESTED INTERESTS.
Additionally, Bee-Keepers WILL SAY ANYTHING AND DO ANYTHING in order to COERCE AND INTIMIDATE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS INTO PROHIBITING INSECTICIDES.
Remember, Anti-Pesticide Bee-Keepers are KNOWN TO BE LYING SACKS OF CWAP.
Bee-Keepers LIE and LIE and LIE !
They NEVER STOP !
Neonicotinoid Insecticides are NOT killing bees.

Read … Force Of Nature and Pesticide Truths ― The Whole Truth From An Independent Perspective.
Go to The Pesticide Truths Web-Site ( Archive Of Reports ) …
Communities and businesses are being HARMED and DESTROYED and RAPED by PROHIBITIONS against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape, and by other ACTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM.
We are living in the 9|11 Era of Anti Pesticide and Environmental Terrorism where at least ONE SUBVERSIVE ACT OF TERROR is perpetrated EVERY SINGLE DAY by these terrorist.
We are living in the DARK AGE OF ANTI PESTICIDE TERRORISM where sound science is trumped by FAKE SCIENTISTS, JUNK SCIENCE and UNVERIFIABLE SECRET EVIDENCE through FABRICATION, INNUENDO, and INTERNET RUMOR ― scientific research PROVES that pest control products CAUSE NO HARM and can be USED SAFELY.
An informed public is better able to protect itself and its communities and businesses from so-called activists who are THE LEAST QUALIFIED TO PROVIDE ANY ADVICE about pest control products or the environment.
NORAHG is the National Organization Responding Against HUJE that seek to harm the Green space industry, and the well-being of our communities.
NORAHG morally represents the VAST SILENT MAJORITY of people associated with turf and ornamental plant maintenance who are OPPOSED to Anti Pesticide PROHIBITION and the CLOSURE or ABANDONMENT of green spaces under the RIDICULOUS PRETEXT of somehow « saving » the environment. http://wp.me/P1jq40-2bo
NORAHG is a NATIONAL NON-PROFIT NON-PARTISAN organization that does not accept money from corporations or governments or trade associations, and represents NO VESTED INTERESTS WHATSOEVER.
NORAHG is dedicated to reporting the work of RESPECTED and HIGHLY RATED EXPERTS who promote ENVIRONMENTAL REALISM and PESTICIDE TRUTHS. http://wp.me/p1jq40-5DD
NORAHG responds on behalf of the VAST SILENT MAJORITY of the public that DOES NOT WANT PESTICIDE BANS, and SUPPORT those who work in the Professional Lawn Care Industry. http://wp.me/P1jq40-2bo
NORAHG is opposed to Pesticide-Free jurisdictions that have DOOMED children to SUFFER INJURIES since Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION inevitably leads to public and residential green spaces that become DANGEROUS AND PEST-INFESTED GARBAGE DUMPS. http://wp.me/P1jq40-44g http://wp.me/P1jq40-4z3
NORAHG is concerned that, without pest control products, CHILDREN ARE AT HIGHER RISK OF SUFFERING INJURIES with the creation of HAZARDOUS SLIPPING AND TRIPPING CONDITIONS in sports turf. http://wp.me/P1jq40-2ha
NORAHG pledges to deliver comprehensive reports that are worthy of peoples' time and of peoples' concern, reports that might ordinarily never have breached the parapet.
NORAHG was the brainchild of William H. Gathercole and his colleagues in 1991. Mr. Gathercole is now retired, although his name continues to appear as founder.
Force Of Nature was launched by NORAHG for CONTINUOUS transmission on the Internet on January 1st, 2009 ― however, the VERY FIRST Stand-Alone FORCE OF NATURE Report was issued on September 19th, 2008.
On March 15th, 2010, Uncle Adolph independently launched The Pesticide Truths, an easy-to-use Web-Site that collects relevant reports of information right-off-the-press. https://pesticidetruths.com/
Pesticide Truths and Force Of Nature, in some ways, are like Google for everything concerning the SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES of Anti-Pesticide and Enviro-Lunatic Terrorists.
