Whatever Happened to the Bee Apocalypse?
Um, I notice their data ends in 2012 - 2015, while CCD was just becoming a serious issue. My last 3 hives had CCD.
Can bees be repopulated, yes, by splitting remaining hives and ramping up distribution channels, but that’s not sustainable and lowers the hive production to dangerously low levels. Hives can produce honey or new bees, but not both in large quantities.
Also, it’s an expensive proposition, rehiving. A nuc costs $200, a new clean hive another $250+- with a near 50% chance it won’t survive each year, it’s an expensive hobby and a real loss when they go down. Eventually people will give up trying in large quantities, then what?
And, as mentioned, wild bees pollinate most plants, and no one is working hard and making money producing large quantities of wild bee hives.
Over the last decade, the numbers have changed. There has been a severe decline in domestic bee population while demand has risen. Also, the commercial hives left often have been split many times, meaning 20000 is a far more normal population of a hive than 80000, and clearly does less pollinating, less honey production, and less new bee production.
It doesn’t have to be an either or choice, I’ve had beehives and fostered wild bee habitat at the same time. I have 30 fruit trees, I need all the bees I can get to visit.
I think the real answer to why you don’t hear about it as much lately is 1) War in Europe and 2) Coup in America, both of which dominate any news reports.
MST3K: Agent For H.A.R.M. - Hot And Ready Man
My mother came home once with a beehive and my dad didn't care for it at all. I remember feeling sad for her and told her that I liked it even though I thought it wasn't really her look. I even cried a little, privately, feeling sorry for her.
I laughed anyway.
The beehive joke killed me. These guys were great.

Preservation - People Being Covered in Gallons of Honey
I suppose its a waste of good food, but buying honey is not hurting the honeybee cause, it creates demand for more honey, which means hopefully more people will start beekeeping, which will result in more bees overall. Remember, the problem isnt the lack of honey, but the lack of pollinators, ie: bees.
On a related note, I just ordered a Flow Hive cube(https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/flow-hive-honey-on-tap-directly-from-your-beehive), and cant wait to start my own beekeeping-project
Islam Vs Racism
Any religion that has core tenants to convert or kill all others should be banned.
Buts that's what we have today. A radical religion on a path of death and destruction, undeterred by reason or force.
Fueled by American and other Nationals to poke a stick at it will only stir the beehive of backlash and bring a crushing blow on American soil.
Cops Getting Trolled by Remote Helicopter
I wonder what the battery life is like? I saw one demonstrated over at the Mall of America that could go for about 15 minuets. On a side note, it sounds like a beehive doing it's rendition of the theme music for the black obelisk in 2001 A Space Odyssey.
Pest control battles 10 foot tall beehive from "Hell"
I think you have about 2 pixels of the blocked label on the LHS of your screenshot. Click "turn on the lights" and it will go back to the right hand side and be visible... or at least it does for me (http://videosift.com/video/Pest-control-battles-10-foot-beehive-from-Hell?style=light)

I do. On the right-hand side of the video. My computer vision tells me it's what you humans call "blue".>> ^doogle:
@siftbot but I don't see the label "Blocked" there.
That's strange, the only "blue" thing that I see on the right-hand side of the video is an advertisement. Sifty, where did you get your eyeshine? I need a better doc.

Enormous Beehive Found in Closet
>> ^MilkmanDan:
I'd never heard "outdoor closet" either. "Shed" is what I'd use. Wonder what the regional distribution of those alternatives is.
We have sheds too, well the term, but only use it when it it its own building. A closet that is in the garage, for example, would be called a closet of some flavor (out door, or garage). But if it was its own standing building out in the backyard or something, that tharrr be a shed.
