In the winter of 2006, a strange phenomenon fell upon honeybee hives across the country. Without a trace, millions of bees vanished from their hives. A precious pollinator of fruits and vegetables, the disappearing bees left billions of dollars of crops at risk and threatened our food supply. The epidemic set researchers scrambling to discover why honeybees were dying in record numbers — and to stop the epidemic in its tracks before it spread further.
Silence of the Bees is the first in-depth look at the search to uncover what is killing the honeybee. The filmmakers of Bees take viewers around the world to the sites of fallen hives, to high-tech labs, where scientists race to uncover clues, and even deep inside honeybee colonies. Silence of the Bees is the story of a riveting, ongoing investigation to save honeybees from dying out. The film goes beyond the unsolved mystery to tell the story of the honeybee itself, its invaluable impact on our diets and takes a look at what’s at stake if honeybees disappear. Silence of the Bees explores the complex world of the honeybee in crisis and instills in viewers a sense of urgency to learn ways to help these extraordinary animals.
Silence of the Bees premiered on PBS October 28, 2007.
Exclusive Podcast: In this podcast, scientists and bee experts featured in the program discuss the crucial role that honeybees, a “keystone species,” play in our economy and ecosystems, as well as bees’ fascinating social organization and what we can do to reverse the decline of nature’s pollinators.
Nice roundup of restaurants in my home town city. Good job! While I don’t live there anymore I still love to go and eat at the many fine restaurants.
You forgot to add an example of “Confirmation” part on the card…
If you help African beekeepers God will give a lot because we are need your help in beekeeping yet we have no way to get you and help us.
But we would even we like to here from you and get in touch for good of bees and nature at large, otherwise bees will die and nowhere shall be found again as dinosaur.
great issues altogether, you just received a new reader. What could you recommend in regards to your put up that you simply made some days in the past? Any positive?
Get Monsanto out of our FDA. They have been injecting pesticides into seeds via viruses. This explains the honey bees AND Salmonella outbreaks through Spinach, Tomatoes, and other crops. (You may also want to note that if you are vegetarian you are likely eating plants that have been injected with animal DNA).
This information used to be hard to find, but I promise you if you spend 5 minutes researching Monsanto in the FDA, Monsanto’s dairy, and Monsanto’s GMOs you will find an endless supply of legitimate information that shows the level of corruption and lack of care for our welfare. They will argue that they are “putting an end to world hunger” yet children’s death rates are UP in starvation. They have stolen farmer’s livelihoods, given their seeds to Mexico to replace our corn COMPLETELY, and will stop at nothing to turn the world into their customer by force.
If you have the means to do so, buy organic seeds before they are obsolete. It could save your life one day.
Terrific paintings! That is the kind of info that should be shared across the web. Shame on Google for not positioning this publish upper! Come on over and visit my web site . Thanks =)
Its fantastic as your other posts :D, thank you for posting.
certainly like your web-site however you have to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very troublesome to tell the truth on the other hand I will definitely come again again.
I do accept as true with all of the concepts you have introduced in your post. They’re very convincing and will certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are too short for newbies. May you please extend them a little from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.
Thank you for any other magnificent article. The place else may anyone get that type of info in such an ideal means of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I’m on the search for such information.
Fantastic site. Plenty of useful information here. I?m sending it to several buddies ans additionally sharing in delicious. And obviously, thanks to your effort!
This specific subject matter you reports here is really a fine and also amazing field. Interesting technique as well as structure in composition. Keep publishing this sort of handy details.
Several years ago I met a beespecialist from Texas. He was on his way to a conference in San Feancisco to address the sudden disappearance of so many bees. We talked fir a long time about this catastrophic loss . I’ve just moved to the Boise area from Califirnia. I’m interested in helping to end this .severe problem. I started purchasing my honey near Ventura from a retired man & his son who started his hives a hobby & produced a wonderful organic honey.
I am currently working on a project that will help female coffee farmers in East Africa diversify their source of income. I proposing to build a butterfly and bee farm which will not only help these poor and disempowered women, but it will conserve biodiversity, and promote the management of the natural resources of the community. I think what you are doing is so incredible, and I would love if there is any help you could give to me in terms of creating this project. If you could email me at c_stilin_rooney@hotmail.com I would appreciate any help. Thanks
It’s getting clearer that CCD was due to the GMO’s subleathal effect (by feeding bee with the GM corn’s syrup especially during the winter time…) better get rid of all GMO stuff….

This was a very interesting show. It really shows how much we need bees. I personally dont want to spend my adult life eating corn mush, and rice is boring without spices, which cant be grown without bees. I think that I personally can help by starting a hobby beekeeping in my own backyard, and hopefully that will contribute.
Just finished watching a video “Silence of the Bees” Research from many parts of the world and after years of
trying to locate the problems with the bees, they did discover, that there were chemicals in their bodies. Still did not explain as to why they suddenly disappeared . However, when bees came close to smart phones, they started to act aggressively and then dropped to the ground. Now this is just a wild guess, but for the last few years, many reports came in when the “Smart meter” was installed bees ended up death, and so did shrubs that were nearby.
Apparently bees have a very sharp hearing , is it just possible, that all the electromagnetic pulses over the the world is finally taking effect on our wild life . Over the past years cancer has alarmingly increased by some 75 %.
What are we doing to our environment? It has been proven world wide, that smart meters are dangerous to humans and wild life. What does it take for the corporations and politicians to wake up. TOTAL DISASTER/
There were no bees before columbus, in america. We’d probably do fine without them.
This is really disturbing. It’s the little things like this, like bees disappearing, that brings home the environmental situation we’re in right now. Not a happy thought at all. But, somehow it seems more real and relatable than global warming or some “huge” issue.
I’m also very concerned about our (national) bees. I’m curious to find out what effects the chemtrails (aluminum and barium sprays) could be having on the bees. It would stand to reason that could be a contributing factor in the bee disappearance.
Spring has just begun in Australia. Normally, the wattle flowers and the plants are covered in bees. This year there weren’t any bees, which prompted me to start observing everywhere I went, and in the last 4 weeks I have seen 3 bees. Bad,bad,bad, but what to do? Its started me thinking and doing some research.
Hello.
An English beekeeper has found the answer to stop honeybees dying.
My name is John Harding with the finite answer to stop honeybees dying needlessly of varroa, guaranteed!
It is quite normal for any organism to respond to illness if it`s immune system is below par. What do I mean by this?
Honeybees have been taken away from their natural source of survival and are placed in beehives where man wants them, and yes away from the honeybee’s source of survival, this weakens them, their immune system and their defence system so anything they can normally deal with like neo-nicotinoid or the parasitic varroa, now become a much greater threat.
My honeybees are by pesticide, GM crops and are NOT dying because I have given them what they would have in the wild, a natural phenomena, it’s free and works.
I have been varroa and decease free for many years.
I have not used chemicals for over 20 years.
BBC Countryfile are monitoring my work.
My first book explained my journey, An HOLISTIC Way in Saving the Honeybee.
http://www.groovycart.co.uk.
My next book (unfinished as yet but free to anyone who contacts me direct) How to create a Varroa Resistant Honeybee.
This explains how to use any specie without any breeding techniques and it becomes varroa resistant within 8 weeks and more with a 2 to 3 times bigger crop.
It has taken over 20 years of research and experiments to find this finite answer relating to the Electromagnetic Field and Honeybees.
I hope I have given you something of interest to make you think as to who really is the unknowingly guilty party however it is human nature to want to blame someone or something rather than themselves.
Kind regards
John
