MY GOD!! Now I Know WHY The Bees Are Dying Off....

[krunchbubble]

30 Giant Japaneses Hornets massacre 30,000 bees just to eat the young...

stunning i must say.....

Absolutly crazy...thanks for posting...nature is amazing

 

[Lifebreather]

This was before the memo went out.

Now the bees win. They cook the hornets by surrounding them and vibrating their wings rapidly...

The whole thing is so cool.

 

[schwilly]

actually the real reason behind bee decline is even more horrifying.

Everyone has the Bees all wrong. They are intelligent alien lifeforms that just migrated to another planet because we ruined the place.

I think they left in the same ships the Whales escaped in.

Too bad the Dolphins aren't as smart as the Wales otherwise they'd fuck off too. Oh yeah, the Wales caused the Tusunami that wiped out the Japs as a parting gift....

BTW, everyone thinks bears like honey, but they really go after the bee's as a protein/fat source. Got a beekeeper buddy.

i seen a show on it

I saw this on television too. Those hornets are the biggest in the world I think. They swept into the hive and cleaned it out. It was like flying ninja bugs or something. Nature is so awesome sometimes.

Creepy f*ckers

My Dad was in Arizona and he had a hornets nest in the bathroom vent and had one of those buggers attack him. They are as tough as nails and he stomped on one and couldn't kill it.

Well sir Krunch...not to shit on YOUR parade...that has been going on forever, it is a natural occurance. The real issue at hand is
the decline in the US bee population, first observed in 2006, is continuing, a phenomenon that still baffles researchers and beekeepers.
Data from the US Department of Agriculture show a 29 percent drop in beehives in 2009, following a 36 percent decline in 2008 and a 32 percent fall in 2007. This affects not only honey production but around 15 billion dollars worth of crops that depend on bees for pollination.


Scientists call the phenomenon "colony collapse disorder" that has led to the disappearance of millions of adult bees and beehives and occurred elsewhere in the world including in Europe.
Researchers have looked at viruses, parasites, insecticides, malnutrition and other environmental factors but have been unable to pinpoint a specific cause for the population decline.
The rough winter in many parts of the United States will likely accentuate the problem, says Jeff Pettis, lead researcher at Department of Agriculture's Bee Research Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland.
Winter figures will be published in April. But preliminary estimates already indicate losses of 30 to 50 percent, said David Mendes, president of the American Beekeeping Federation.
"There are a lot of beekeepers who are in trouble" he said.
"Under normal condition you have 10 percent winter losses.. this year there are 30, 40 to 50 percent losses."
He said the phenomenon probably results from a combination of factors but that the increased use of pesticides appears to be a major cause.
"I don't put my bees in Florida because the last couple of years there has been tremendous increase in pesticide use in the orange crop to fight a disease," he said.
"It's a bacterium and the only way to control this disease is to use pesticide... a few years ago they did not use any pesticide at all."
He said that pesticide use "has changed dramatically" and has made beekeeping "more challenging."
Research conducted in 23 US states and Canada and published in the Public Library of Science journal found 121 different pesticides in 887 samples of bees, wax, pollen and other elements of hives, lending credence to the notion of pesticides as a key problem.
Pettis said the finding of pesticide residue is "troubling."
"It might not be the only factor but it's a contributing factor," he said.
The best thing to help bees, he said its "to try to limit habitat destruction," leaving more natural areas in agriculture and in cities such so honey bees can have "a diverse natural environment."
Ironically, he said the problem stems from expansion of agriculture to feed the world. But in destroying bee populations, that can hurt crop production.
"The world population growth is in a sense the reason for pollinators' decline," he said.
"Because we need to produce more and more food to feed the world and we grow crops in larger fields. A growing world means growing more food and to do that we need pollinators. And the fact that the world is continuing to grow is the driving force behind the habitat destruction." Just in case you wanted to know what the real issue at hand is.

Like watching my wifes brothers at an all you can eat buffet...

They are huge, bottomless appetites - keep your hands and feet away from their mouths...

The slow mo pan shots were almost CGI looking...

Nasty fucking bugs - beautiful too...

Ive seen that too. Really cool. they really do cook the hornets but do not cook themselfs in the process, amazing

I thought it for certain it had to be the deniers fault

 

[limegreensuit]

does anyone have links to these types of videos streaming but in full length?
I dont have TV but I miss the nature channel and what not
I like animals
gettin high and watchin animals

 

[FRIENDinDEED]

i was gonna go online and see if i could watch/find a good action movie, but after seeing that im good!

 

[StinkyGreen]

Incredible video. Thanks for posting. Harsh reminder of how life works.

 

[longearedfriend]

the earth is gonna become like a desert

it's gonna be good for growing weed|hemp

plus, we don't need the bees for pollenating these plants
