Occupy Corporatism

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) refuses to take pesticides off the market that have recently been proven to contribute to colony collapse disorder (CCD).
Their compromise is to require new pesticide labels (NPL) “in an ongoing effort to protect bees and other pollinators. [The new pesticide labels] will prohibit use of some neonicotinoid pesticide products where bees are present.”
This warning details how bees are exposed to pesticides and urges precaution. It will appear on products that contain these neonicotinoids:
• Imidacloprid
• Dinotefuran
• Clothianidin
• Thiamethoxam
The EPA will “work with pesticide manufacturers” to ensure that NPLs are compliant with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
The Pesticide Research Institute (PRI) and Friends of the Earth (FoE) released a study that showed average neighborhoods were saturated in pesticides that are proven to be harmful to bees.
The University of Maryland came to an accord that even tiny amounts of fungicides in the general environment, the more likely the bees will be mortally affected.
This study was integral in the creation of CCD.
In a twist, this study completely disproved the belief in the industry and with the federal government that fungicides are harmless.
Researchers at Emory University and the University of California have studied bumblebees in Colorado and discovered that the most devastated impact is felt in the plants that are dying because of lack of pollination.
At a laboratory in Crested Butte, Colorado, Berry Brosi and Heather Briggs were assisted by numerous assistants who analyzed how species of bumblebees and utilized algorithms to assert that if other surviving species of bumblebees were to “pick up the slack”. Plant life would be able to recover.
It appears that bumblebees discriminated against a specific species of flower; the purple wildflower called Delphinium barbeyi (a type of larkspur).
Brosi explained : “We found that the remaining bee species in the system did become more generalized. They were actually showing lower floral fidelity. Even over a single foraging trip, they were visiting multiple species of plants more often.”
Honey bees contribute to a 3rd of global animal pollination.
With regard to global food security, controlling CCD and assisting the existing colonies in flourishing.
A team of researchers at the Washington State University (WSU) have imported bee sperm from the European honeybee for storage and future fertilization.
Scientists want to fertilize American queen bees with European bee sperm to genetically engineer bees that are more resilient to a mysterious condition that coerces worker bees to abandon their hives to die.
The theory is that with this genetic manipulation, stronger bees can be created that will lead to healthier American insects.
The sperm that is not used in these experiments will be frozen for future use.
It seems ironic now, considering the predicament we are facing, however it was Albert Einstein famously said that “if the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, man would have only four years to live”.
