Buried beneath headlines about congressional treason and wars and rumors of war is a disturbing new report from the World Entomology Body (WEB) showing that the world's insect populations are plummeting. This is really bad news for the food supply, which relies on precious pollinators like bees to keep the life cycle going. Without these vital critters, … Continue reading Insect biodiversity plummeting as global food supply teeters toward collapse
Deadly pesticides can harm bee populations for generations, study finds
A recent study showed that pesticides can harm bee populations for generations. The paper, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, found that bee populations can take a hit for generations once a bee is exposed to a common pesticide in its first year of life. Lead author and University of California … Continue reading Deadly pesticides can harm bee populations for generations, study finds
Pesticide cocktails found to be more dangerous to bees than expected
Combinations of different pesticides are harmful to bees — important insects that help pollinate the environment, according to a recent study. There is global concern over declines in pollinators, and these cocktail pesticides could be detrimental to already endangered bee populations. “Interactions between multiple agrochemicals significantly increase bee mortality,” the study’s lead author, Harry Siviter … Continue reading Pesticide cocktails found to be more dangerous to bees than expected
Got memory loss, brain fog and chronic fatigue? Here are the top 5 causes
It’s really hard to eat healthy when you read the wrong news or can’t even remember good advice when you hear it. Some people get really motivated when they see a Youtuber who’s in great shape and has simple tips, but try to put those strategies into action while your cleansing organs are being ‘vandalized’ by chemicals, and without … Continue reading Got memory loss, brain fog and chronic fatigue? Here are the top 5 causes
Biologists: Pesticide regulations designed to protect bees are failing
Bees, like many of the world’s insects, are in crisis, and their numbers are dwindling at an alarming rate. At the same time, the world’s population – and its reliance on insect-pollinated crops – continues to grow at an equally alarming pace. The bees might be in crisis right now, but pretty soon it will … Continue reading Biologists: Pesticide regulations designed to protect bees are failing
As global insect population plunges toward total ecological collapse, the corporate-run media still censors the truth about GMOs and pesticides
For more than a decade, Natural News has been warning the public about the dangers of the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides, and the genetic modification of plants to withstand the onslaught of such chemicals. In return, Natural News – like most members of the independent media – has been vilified, mocked and even censored by the mainstream … Continue reading As global insect population plunges toward total ecological collapse, the corporate-run media still censors the truth about GMOs and pesticides
Hummingbirds and bumble bees are being exposed to neonicotinoid pesticides at alarming rates
It’s quite simple: About 87 percent of all flowering plants are pollinated by animals, and this includes 70 percent of the planet’s most produced food crops. Bees alone are responsible for pollinating one in every three bites of food we eat. Without pollinators like bees, birds and bats, we would be faced with an overwhelming … Continue reading Hummingbirds and bumble bees are being exposed to neonicotinoid pesticides at alarming rates
Do your part and save the bees with these 10 easy-to-grow flowers
Bee populations have dwindled in recent years. Pesticides, parasites, and the disappearance of wildflowers have all been cited as reasons for the declines of domesticated and wild bees. Without these important little pollinators, the amount of agricultural crops would shrink considerably. Less bees means less food for us. Fortunately, the simple act of planting annual … Continue reading Do your part and save the bees with these 10 easy-to-grow flowers
Another species of bee added to the endangered list, almost wiped out by Monsanto
In case you thought that reporting on the rapidly diminishing number of bee colonies around the country was being over-hyped, this should tell you that prior warnings were spot-on, and indeed, prophetic. For the first time ever, a rare bee species is being placed on the endangered species list, giving them special legal protections enshrined in … Continue reading Another species of bee added to the endangered list, almost wiped out by Monsanto
Beyond honey bees, neonicotinoid pesticides now found to be killing baby birds
A class of pesticides widely blamed for a worldwide collapse in pollinator populations is also devastating populations of birds, according to a new study conducted by researchers from Radboud University in the Netherlands and the Centre for Field Ornithology and Birdlife Netherlands, and published in the journal Nature on July 16. The chemicals, known as neonicotinoids, have increasingly come … Continue reading Beyond honey bees, neonicotinoid pesticides now found to be killing baby birds
