Disappearing Honeybees

Taken from my safegreenclean blog. Originally published August 25, 2009.*** So for the past few years I’ve been hearing about the disappearing honeybees. This was originally of importance to me because I happen to be quite fond of honey and dislike the rise in prices as production slows down. Now researchers believe they have found a reason for the bees’ decline.

We know that chemical fertilizers and pesticides, along with genetic engineering of our food has a long-term negative effect on our bodies. Look at the rise in disease in the past 30 years alone. Asthma, ADD/ADHD, allergies, immune system disorders, Parkinson’s, Alzheimers, and the list goes on & on. Many of these ailments can be directly linked to our environment (home, office, AND outdoors) and diet. Does it not stand to reason that these same factors could affect insects and other creatures?

It’s time we all started being more aware of what we’re putting in our bodies. Once that happens, a greater awareness of WHERE your food is coming from and how it is produced will affect your choices.

God gave mankind dominion over the earth and everything in it. It’s time we started behaving responsibly with what we have been entrusted, don’t you think?

In the beginning, I had many blogs for the sake of keeping business activity, green observations, & personal things separate. Now I am just combining everything back to this blog. I’ll be copying older entries, such as this one, to complement current posts.
