lack of bees

Is anyone else having trouble getting any fruits or veggies? I have/had tomatoes, cucs, and green beans. The toms were putting out hella flowers, but nothing was happening, they would just dry up and fall off. The tomatoes I did get, were cherry sized instead of the big beefsteak they should have been. I was getting all kinds of cucs, now they have stopped and green beans have lots of flowers, but no little beans starting.

I only use organic products. Nothing harmful. I have noticed a lack of bees though. There were tons of them in the spring, but now I may see one if I am lucky. What happened to my bees?

Where are you in the country? Have you contacted your agricultural extension office to see what they know?

Once passed the solstice, all plants cannabis too, fall to bud, IMO plant out earlier, should you have a wet spring things would have been worse, and yes Bees are suffering very badley with just general pollution from man and their own viri too

I have never had this problem before with plants failing to put out fruit. The lack of bees is the only thing that is different. Sigh...all my plans of canning sauces and veggies will have to wait til next year I guess.

Look to your possibly high (N) and low (P) and (K) levels ...have you changed anything at all...?

Look up colony collapse disorder.

Then lookup the link between CCD and commercial agricultural use of neonicatoid pesticides such as imidacloprid.

just wait 10 years or so, it's truly a scary thing, people have NO idea how much it'll effect the world, like every other thing, humans are really, REALLY, fucking up the world FAST. Between that and messing up our water sources, contaminating the ocean....I wonder if people understand that most of our oxygen comes from a healthy ocean... Meh, I won't start... I feel badly for our children, honestly see something VERY frightening in our future, our kids are going to see some tremendous changes

Yeah, they have evidence but they're still arguing the facts and trying to do more studies, we are a fucked up species. This issue could be much bigger than global warming and affect us much sooner.

scary thing I often think about (usually AFTER smoking) is if I was/were an alien species, and I saw what we have done to our planet, in relatively a SHORT time (industrial age) I sure as shit wouldn't want to save the human race, if it were up to me, i'd eradicate every fuckin last one of us..... Wouldn't you?
It'd be like seeing a garden with a fuckton of mites on it, and deciding to get a clone from that garden.... not me, i'd eradicate em all....
Uhem, and um, this concludes Jonny's happy discussion on the future of mankind...

If there are aliens or some higher power watching us, they must be having a good laugh for sure, we've managed to do just about everything we could to fuck up the planet and turn on each other (wars, racism etc...), would be like watching one of those idiotic reality tv shows, but for real...

Ive watched vids on bees and chem trails, bees and alluminum poisoning from chem trail sprays, bees and pesticide toxicity, bees and UVB and UVC coming in through holes in the ozone and the fact is I just don't know. Science doesn't seem to know definitively, and apiarists can't agree on a cause either. So if these professionals can't agree on a cause I don't know how you or I can either. Perhaps it's all of those reasons or maybe it's none of those reasons. I feel though that we've messed with mother nature so much that no species short of cock roaches can survive the changes we've brought to our ecosystem. We've fucked it all up to put it mildly. And some species are not gonna survive. Its as simple as that.
