Obama wants to save the bees...

Which means Conservatives insist on killing them

there is a bee keeper out here in OC RW who is a pretty Conservative person .....i met him when my brother in law was buying some honey from him....so there goes your theory.....sorry....oh and his Bees look like he takes care of them.....

I think it's more a satire on how anti-Obama conservatives have become on anything he does at all.

my thing is words have meaning....when you say "Conservatives" or "Liberals" unless you put a word like "some" or "most" in front of it.....then you mean ALL....

Honeybee disease is being politicized with obama finding the "cure". YAAY.

obama can find the cure, which is banning something because that always works, as long as sane people keep working at finding a cure for the virus or a way to deal with the virus. In the US government grant money might be able to stop research into finding a cure and direct into something politically expedient. Thankfully such insanity isn't world wide. Scientists in the UK (which may not use the pesticides blamed for the condition and have nothing to blame) are working on curing the virus before it spreads from honeybees to wild bumblebees.

according to the show by National Geographic its already spread to the wild and they were talking to Bee Keepers in the UK who were the ones saying this....the wild Bee Pop. is doing worse than the Domestic Pop. because most of the work on stopping this is with the Domestic Bees....

Because the death of bee colonies is a virus and someone needs to find a cure. Once Obama's solution of pesticides is politically declared, further solutions are foreclosed. At least in the United States where political solutions are the only acceptable solutions.

The impetus toward ignorance on the left is shocking and dismaying. Thankfully the rest of the world isn't infected with the American left and someone may yet find an answer.

This man is frikken Insane...we have a crisis in the middle east/Iraq, our borders are being INVADED and he'S out to save a fucking bee...and they plan to spend Millions doing it...we are being HOSED by this administration and every damn government agency He is in charge of now it's a, PoLLINATOR HEALTH TASK FORCE...

SNIP:

President Obama on Friday announced plans to save endangered honey bees and other pollinators, for the first time ordering a probe into new types of pesticides that some local governments and 15 European Union nations have restricted or banned.

The long-awaited plan creates a “Pollinator Health Task Force” that has 180 days to come up with a plan to save bees, butterflies and other pollinators. The goal is to rid fields of harmful pesticides while planting food for the bugs, even on military bases an along railroad tracks. Virtually every Cabinet department will be included on the task force.

A key victory for the honey bee industry is Obama’s mention of “neonicotinoids,” a new type of pesticide product that many blame for the shocking loss of bees in the epidemic called “colony collapse disorder.”

In the six-page presidential memo, the White House singled out what it wants the Environmental Protection Agency to do:

“The Environmental Protection Agency shall assess the effect of pesticides, including neonicotinoids, on bee and other pollinator health and take action, as appropriate, to protect pollinators; engage state and tribal environmental, agricultural, and wildlife agencies in the development of state and tribal pollinator protection plans; encourage the incorporation of pollinator protection and habitat planting activities into green infrastructure and Superfund projects; and expedite review of registration applications for new products targeting pests harmful to pollinators.”

Some members of the EU voted last year to restrict the use of pesticides that include neuroactive neonicotinoid chemicals. Three are in use: clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiametoxam.

Pollinators, mostly bees, are responsible for much of what grows on farms.

In a related move, the Agriculture Department said it would spend $8 million to establish new habitats for honey bees in Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

We have a damn sight more to worry about with the die off of honey bee colonies which just so happen do 100s of billions of dollars worth agricultural business when it comes to the pollination of crops. You see, that pollination leads to a plentiful (and generally inexpensive) yearly harvest than we rely on both for food and for export. That's far more important to our daily lives than what's going on in the ME.

Perhaps honeybees are perceived by conservatives as being socialists with all that living in colonies and working together for the common good.

The fact that you feel it necessary to point out the obvious tells me you're an idiot.
Of course I'm talking about honey bees.

wtf, how the heck was he supposed to know you're talking about honey bees, you just said bees! How does that make him an idiot?

Btw, looking around your lawn and seeing a lot of bees does not refute lots of scientific data.

 

[ClosedCaption]

Well Herewegoagain I've seen less bees than ever before. Checkmate I win

 

[Mustang]

I want to go on the record here. I like honeybees. I think they're worth saving. If gov't can help do that, then I'm all for it.

Why do you hate bees? I would think you would be happy they're making a comeback.

So...you can tell the difference between the the multitude of bee species in N. America?

Anyone else get the feeling that Stephanie is a high school student or college student? Just seems very immature. Obviously doesn't comprehend how many things we need the Bee for.

I think she comes across as a perfectly normal, average right wing conservative Republican.

There is also a reduction in tree frogs in my area...

I do? When? News to me.

Oh...there is only one species of dog....many breeds tho. Tell me you know the difference between "breed" and "species", right? Tell me you know there are 1000s of SPECIES of bees, not all of them honey bees, right?

Or are you as stupid as Lovebear?
