Time To Get Nervous, VERY Nervous.
Researches have found that the German insect population, including our invaluable helpers, the pollinating bees, has declined by 76% over the last twenty-seven years. The main suspect is agricultural pesticides.

Amigo, could GMOs be a factor in this apisicide?
Amigo, you can keep you Portuguese wasps. I am concerned about the bees!
The problem is that the wasps KILL the honey bees. Anyway, I was not offering wasps....

YIKES!!! GMOs!!! Once again, Inspector Gustafson's intuition is spot on!Why is there not a lynch mob in front of Monsanto corporate headquarters? BTW those killers are moving their headquarters to Europe!
Cannot understand why they're moving to Europe; due to Bayer's deal? or?

Thx Matt; I'm still waiting for David's meaning.
Amigo, I have no idea why they are moving their headquarters to Europe.
In 2014 the US did a good job using "$3 million to help reseed pastures in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas with bee-appropriate plants. Increasing the availability of plants like alfalfa and clover will provide more foodstock for the thousands of commercial beekeepers who bring hives to those states each year, ..."*.
Sure: insecticides, diseases, urbanization/habitat loss, depletion of their natural sources are some of the causes for the extinction. Not to mention some killer bees around...; or (in North of Portugal) the terrible Asian wasp which has been for the last 6 years a source of worry for beekeepers**.
Poor bees...
