On The Brink: The fight to save bees and our food supply
Each year 2.5 million honeybee colonies crisscross the country, traveling from farm to farm, from the almond orchards of California to the blueberry fields of New Jersey, with one crucial job - to pollinate America's crops. The pollination services these bees provide produces one third of our food and increases crop value in the U.S. by 15 billion dollars annually. Yet, few ever see these bees at work or know how the beekeeping industry that maintains them has been pushed to the brink of devastation.

I mean its utterly insane how Steven Cook can sit there and say that they are trying to solve the problem of bee die off from pesticides by creating another pesticide to kill a mite. WTF this society are bunch of insane morons.

God its makes me want to pull my hair out listening to that idiot Steven Cook and people like him. IT HAS BEEN KNOWN ALL ALONG WHAT HAS BEEN KILLING THE BEES.....PESTICIDES PERIOD. Its no secret the peer-reviewed science is out there for all the public to see. Pesticides is causing the bee die-off. So these morons at the usda "trying to find a solution" like wtf? Wasting public money on fruitless nonsensical research for a solution to the problem WHEN the solution is simple ban the toxic poisons killing the bees. Jesus fucking christ

As a newbie beekeeper with my 2 hives that I am learning to manage I am incredibly impressed by what Grant Stiles has accomplished and continues to fight for. Perhaps the bees will save us, if we can save them by stopping our senseless use of all pesticides and moving of invader parasites around. This is a video that every person on this planet should see.
