Can Congress Save the Little Honey Bee?
The House this week joins the Senate in considering the plight of the tiny honey bee. In advance of a House hearing on the status of colony collapse disorder, the name given to the disappearing bee syndrome, some 21 House and Senate Democrats and Republicans will join Burt's Bees and Häagen Dazs Wednesday at a conference to air the problems facing the bee. Right smack in the middle of National Pollinator Week, the event on Capitol Hill will feature lawmakers interested in the bee, like Sen. Hillary Clinton and House Agriculture Committee's Rep. Dennis Cardoza, the nation's bee man, the Agriculture Department's Jeff Pettis, and supporters from Häagen Dazs and Burt's Bees. Afterward, Häagen Dazs's new vanilla honey bee ice cream will be served and Burt's "Help Honey Bees" lip balm will be offered.

What is the beetree.org? Where are the profits going? Why is this person advertising all over the Web? Why is his name not on his Web site?
colony collapse disorder (CCD)
CCD is caused by chemical trails laid out in the morning and afternoon by our military. It is commonly known throughout Europe that in order to prevent spying via satellites, the military will lay out layers of barium/aluminum that act as a shield. It is also sprayed throughout the U.S., but the government has convinced most people that they are simple condensation trails (see the quite comical EPA section on "contrails"). All one has to do is look up to see that the trails are spread in a grid pattern from horizon to horizon and are not ordinary contrails that dissipate much like the wake from a boat. We are being sprayed, just like Europe is being sprayed, yet it is kept from the public here and people who question the military's chemical spraying operation are being dismissed as freaks. The barrier that is sprayed directly interferes with the ability of bees to use polarized light for navigation. Once the government bans the use of chemical sprays in our atmosphere, bee colonies will thrive. It is as simple as that. However, I am certain that our government will continue lying to the public about this covert operation. It will take some doing to uncover this ugly truth to the American public. Several rallies/seminars have taken place throughout the nation to bring information front and center, but then again, we are unfortunately too comfortable with all of our toys and gadgets to concern ourselves with what goes on in this country.
