There is a pitched battle being fought under our noses, right under our antennae if we happen to be bees, to place a global ban on bee-killing pesticides. For the worthy bee is under severe threat. I accept that I have now repeated the word bee, one, two, three times thus far, but I cannot overstress the importance of this issue to the world at large, in fact in the site alpha-to-numeric transposition system bee becomes 3 so that is uncanny repetition:

BEE is 2+5+5 = 12 and 1+2 = 3 Pluralise and the transposition becomes 4, incrementally logical and numerically representative multiple creatures of course, as BEES is 2+5+5+19, 1+9 = 10 therefore becoming 2+5+5+1 = 13 and resolving down to 1+3 = 4



It's becoming increasingly clear that neonics are unnecessary and, further more, they pose an trresponsibly unacceptable risk to pollinators. Currently good hearts and true are rallying to the flag of global outcry to convince decision-makers in Europe and around the globe to remain strong and protect the bees, given the intense lobbying from multinational pesticide companies.

For it’s high time we were all fighting for humankind over profits!

Just to put matters in perspective, bees are the best natural pollinators in the business, fertilising plants, trees and shrubs to make fruit or seeds. Even the list of essentials that require insect-pollination below fails to fully emphasise the true level of humankind's dependency on the magic industry of the bee for natural food growth. Time to apply the power of universal mind before it's too late.



Without bees, we are without the following cultivated foods:

Aubergines, onions, chilli peppers cucumbers, corn, pumpkins, squash, broccoli, beets, bell peppers, Brussels sprouts carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, melons, okra, potatoes, pumpkins, radishes, spinach, Swiss chard and turnips. Corinander, fennel and the herbs. Blackeyed, haricot, lima, kidney, mungo, string and green beans.

Alfalfa, buck wheat, clover, flax, rape seed and sunflower.....,


Almonds, brazil nuts, cashew nuts, chestnuts, coconuts, hazelnuts........


Coffee and Cotton


Apple, apricot, blackberry, black currant, blueberry, cherry, cranberry, elderberry, grapefruit , guava, quince, lemon, lime, lychee, mango, orange, peach, plum, pomegranate, prickly pear, raspberry, red currant, strawberry, tangerine and Watermelon..... plus a few



I repeat, time to apply the power of universal mind before it's too late.

I can stand to lose Brussel sprouts but not potatos

Ah yes well spotted Nazheek.
Indeed Humans have been eating the humble potato since at least 500 B.C.

The potato's fibre, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 content, coupled with its lack of cholesterol, provides the ultimate support for a healthy heart (although the caveat is probably not in French Fry form but cooked in olive, rape seed and sunflower derived oils is a marginal improvement). Carbohydrate content, the body's preferred source of energy, is almost 90 percent. Potatoes also contain significant amounts of fibre, which help lower the total amount of cholesterol in the blood, in turn decreasing the risk of heart disease.

So yes an immense nutritional dilemma should they fail to grow as a result of a decimated Bee population, they are already assailed by the natural biodiversity of predators and blights. Citing the Great Famine or the Great Hunger as an example of the devastating impact resuting from the loss of the Potoato crop, this heralded a period of mass starvation, disease, and emigration for my ancestors in Ireland between 1845 and 1852. This caused the population to fall by 20–25% due to mortality and emigration. Therefore not only permanently changing the Auld Country's demographic, but also its political and cultural landscape.



The Great Famine Memorial in Dublin

To put it in context, roughly 40 per cent of the population was solely reliant on the Potato as cheap crop for a number of historical reasons. When it failed due to blight, during the ensuing famine, approximately one million people died and a further million more were forced to leave everything and emigrate from Ireland.

Just a quick follow on, it has just been pointed out to me that on the Irish aspect I have regurgitated much of the content of Hope's excellent 'One Potato, Two Potato' post and I would commend you to that most interesting text to reinforce the detail. Also, I seem to have meandered away from Bees as the topic lynch pin onto the dangers of losing a national Potato crop, nevertheless no Bees, non-existent crop ergo the same outcome.
