Honeybees and our extinction...yikes!

[au03cobrafan 0]

Wow I didn't know the planet had such a short time left.  I've read that once the honeybee is extinct this planet will only be liveable for 4 more years.

Forgive my ignorance on this subject, but where in the above mentioned article does it talk about the the extinction of the Earth?

I don't think he meant for both to be in the same article.  He was using IF P, THEN Q logic based on a previous article he read about the relationship between the extinction of bees with the extinction of the Earth.

but the staement is false if q is false even if p is true.  Although the statement could be true if p is false, because then q doesn't matter.

Yeah, it was bad. I got up early.....that's my excuse.

Yeah forgive my ignorance on the subject also as some of what I think is what I've heard from others.  The shock of it just hit me when I realized the other day I had barely seen a honeybee this summer when I used to see them everywhere when I was a kid and could barely keep from stepping on one a lot of times.

Here's another link and if you google you can find lots more.

You may be confusing yellowjackets with honeybees.

[bigbird 57,908]

Colony collapse disorder(CCD) is very real, and the honey bee is intimately tied to much of our agriculural.  They're cheap and pollinate better than almost any other option. That being said the use of parthion, although very harmful, would not cause such widespread devastation, especially in countries that have banned its use.  I reccomend, if you are interested in CCD checking out these links.

With a bird spending so much time around threads about bee's, there has got to be something to this.

the bees are dying lets have a telethon.

Why in the heck do you supposedly know so much about bees??

[telling tiger 156]

Glen Beck would be a good host for the telethon

[Barney 10]

Or how about Keith Olbermann 

[telling tiger 156]

Olbermann would kill the joke. HIGHLY unlikely there would ever be a telethon for bees. HIGHLY unlikely Beck would ever host one anyway. Dig deep Barn, it wasn't about politics.

I did some of research on CCD while in school. I have done a lot of the DNA sequencing, insertions, and deletions that were mentioned.

An insertion. What kind??

[AUAeroEngineer 0]

DNA insertions. Unfortunately it's not what you're thinking about. Its about the insertion of a certain triplet in the coding of a strand of DNA to cause a mutation. Not the bird and the bees type of DNA insertion

Maybe you should stay biomedical sciences and drop engineering
