yo Julian,
after careful analysis of your statement on 15th Dec, 2018, I would add my questions to the above in a modest way, to test the suggestion to see for myself.
a question: who or what do you think might be causing the bees to decline? bees have been with us for a 100 million years?
my take on that is what's done is done and what's done cannot
be undone as Lady Macbeth would say, but why now in the midst
of all this knowledge and technology? wasn't this supposed to
have ushered in a sublime new future for humankind, a signal to
our gruesome past that the age of justice had arrived to the
relief of what remained, of our long destructive legacy?
another question: do you see the bees decline analogous to the
canary in the coal mine for humans who have now evolved to self
destruct with the believers at least all going to a better
place?
the last question: since science has pretty conclusively
demonstrated that we're on our own, shouldn't every effort be
made to save what's left, including of course, the bees, the
subject of our newsgroup?
Foremost is massive use of
insecticides
Consider the oft quoted almond fertilisation.
