Let's talk about something the majority of people do not care about or have not heard of or haven't paid attention to and the small minority of us that really understand the full implications of this global disaster are terrified of.

China is void of bees.

Let me repeat.

China's bees are dead. China is approximately 3,700,000 square miles, if I did my converting right. There are NO bees in China. (ARE YOU HEARING ME??? THERE ARE NO FRIGGIN BEES IN 3,700,000 SQUARE MILES!)

Bet you didn't know that did you? Bet you had no idea that the same thing that happened there, CCD (Colony Collapse Disorder), is the exact same thing that is attacking our bee colonies here.

Let's go through a quick review of what the implications of this ARE exactly. First off, if the bees die off, which CAN happen and IS happening, that means that we'll have to HAND POLLINATE ALL VEGETABLES, FRUIT AND FLOWERS. Let me make this clear. This is taking a feather like material and going blossom to blossom dusting each one so that fruit and vegetables will be produced, so that flowers will continue to blossom. They're already doing this in China.

Without doing that and no cure for CCD, the magnitued of this is more than slightly terrifying. That means that we'll have no fruit, no vegetables. Forget fresh flowers. Forget the sweet smelling shampoos and perfumes. Forget all our luxuries.

This is a international disaster that is getting little to NO attention. This has the potential to kill off many things that also depend on bees. It impacts the diets of many animals. There are insects that need the honey bees produce to survive. We're talking about dozens of species dying out.

Take just a moment to think of all the animals that survive on fruit and vegetables alone. They will die.

This isn't something to go "oh well" about. This is possibly the worst natural global event that we could imagine but no one is noticing because nothing has changed much for us. We still can buy our tomatoes and our bananas, we still get squash, we still get cucumbers. But if this continues, we won't. Our lives are seemingly uneffected but that's not true. We WILL be effected by this if we don't stop it. And in very very serious ways.

There are things that are tragic and terrifying happening in this world. But the issues at hand, the ones that are getting the media attention, are merely pet projects of the elite in and out of this country.

Please, read about CCD, learn, understand what this means. Don't take the word of a single person, learn what this is. This will change our lives forever if it's not stopped, if a cure isn't found.

You can find more information on CCD at PBS.org and USDA Announces Colony Collapse Disorder Research Action Plan. There are many many articles about this disease online, I really suggest Googling Colony Collapse Disorder.
