What's the truth about all the insects dying?

I live in the Australian country - left my bug zapper on the back veranda on last week by accident, there was a 2inch tall 4 inch wide pile of insects under it by morning.

The world is the greenest it has been in hundreds of years, extra carbon in the atmosphere is expanding arable land sea levels still haven't risen.

Dont buy into the doomsday eco shit, its just an excuse to control and tax.

>tfw the bees are pollinated

last time i stayed up in the mountains there were giant moths everywhere. theyve just disappeared from the city here.

Aussies and their niggery ass moths.

We made their food source poison to them with GMOs.

delicious pain

We tried, they became Africanized killer bees
>Add a little African to a European species
>Become unhinged bloodlusting savages

>large areas of land for agriculture
No lie. It's not just the pesticides for killing insects that kill bees. The pesticides that kill the weeds cull their food sources. Most insects can't live off of corn, rice or wheat alone.

As a beekeeper, it's mostly the domesticated bees that are dying. Like many domesticated creatures, they are hard pressed to survive in the wild, and the above plays no small part. Also an increase in diseases and parasites. And an increase in beekeepers that go out of their way to keep their bees healthy and fed, but can't be arsed to change their garden (or convince others to do the same) to provide food for pollinators. I can talk more of that if anyone cares. The wild bees are doing fairly well, since they do not need the vast amount of food sources that hives do. Other wild insects are also feeling the loss of habitats, but thrive in the remaining habitats.
It's probably not the end of the world. Not all pollinators are about to drop off the earth. Media are just raising a stink.

The souls of the insects are re-incarnating into African niggers.

Kill all mosquitos and flies.

Why the shilling for insects as source of protein than??? What idiocy is this??

When I was young my parents couldn't drive 50 miles without having the windshield completely covered in dead bugs. Now when I drive that same route hardly any bugs hit the car. I had just assumed the shape of new cars had something to do with it

>Kill all mosquitos and flies.

damn fruit flies are getting into my pomegranates. last year indians stole half of my pomegranates and most of what was left was ruined by bugs.

Its pesticides and we are phasing them out.
Thanks EU for doing that. Imagine without an EU and most countries agreed that we are nuking the environment so we all stopped but the UK went ahead with killing all its insects and gained a competitive advantage in agriculture? Safe in the knowledge that insects could re colonize the UK each year from a healthy European mainland.

Well without an EU euro countries would be tempted to do this shit.

>Not understanding that the majority of our diet still comes from plants that absolutely rely on pollination by insects
>Not understanding that factory farmed animals take tonnes of grain to feed and raise, grain that absolutely has to be cross pollinated by insects

Wow

>beyond-coping.png
Also, we have massively cut back on neonicotinoid insecticides in this country and as a result I am seeing many more bees locally than a few years ago

Lets be real here. You are never leaving the EU.

>Most of our plants are grown from patented seeds, replanting of which is illegal anyway
>Many crops such as potatoes don't need to be pollinated at all
>Implying we couldn't just artificially pollinate our crops if we needed to

Retard insect sympathizer.

If you're still here I'm interested in beekeeping once I get the money for a decent sized plot of land. So any details, advice and such is most welcome, and to understand more, do I need to rotate plants nearby to different ones or would a mix of planted flowers and about 1-3 acres of uncultivated land suffice for a small hive? Also what kinds of flowers do you suggest I plant? A friend of mine has some that the bees go nuts for every year but he doesn't know the name.

...i know )-:
They will just keep forcing a vote until we vote "the right way"

It isn't the first time they have done this.

Jews introduced wasps to the bees habitat

We need the EU so we can tell the mutts and chinks to go fuck themselves.

Don't know, if it's really an issue though they can probably just clone them. Same thing with cows or buffalos or woolly mammoths.

Was a bit weird for a while. There used to be bees everywhere and then for a couple of years there were literally none.

Wind pollination, fuck em, I hate bugs.

The truth is that these studies have a 50% chance of being completely wrong and contradicted by the next study. They're meaningless stupid shit only used for buzzfeed articles.
Assuming these studies are correct, which they probably aren't, fuck insects. I hope all insects go extinct. We will adapt to a world with no insects, it's not a problem. Anyone saying there will be an ''Armageddon'' if certain species go extinct or a certain event happens is lying or they are stupid.
If all insects went extinct overnight, the world would simply adapt to it. It would cause some temporally problems, but you would most likely go unaffected if you are reading this right now.

>patented seeds
You need pollination for seeds to be made, you cretin.

Germtard being stupid once again. Listen here, Achmed: it depends on what kind of insects are marketed. Grasshoppers, maggots and mealworms are bred by the billions whereas butterflies, different species of spiders (not insects but whatever) and beetles aren’t only essential for the environment but also not of interest due to size, life cycle or preferred food. Get out and read a book

Good. Fuck insects.

Fuck off meme flag bug sympathizer.

Roooouuunnd uppppppo

They can wit excess wind and excess pollen.

Alright, first up, if there's classes on beekeeping (I had a nightschool course for it, for instance), join it. You don't have to do everything as they say, but the know how of experienced keepers is essential.
I don't know how it work in the US for such things, but if there's a guild/union/national association/whatever, join it. With some luck, you will be able to go to lectures and contact other keepers who will supply advice, both on keeping and the materials you need, techniques, materials if you're lucky, a queen and a small starting people, etc.
If you're going with annuals and biannuals, you will have to rotate your plants. Weeds will outcompete them eventually, even if they seed form seed. Mind you, annuals and biennials tend to give better nectar yield in short periods of time. So do weeds, but you'll eventually get monoculture. Monocultures are bad because not every plant holds all of the bees' essential amino acids, which they get from the pollen. Another problem is that these usually have a short blooming period. If the conditions for the plant are bad during this period (too much wind, too much rain, too dry, etc.), they will hardly produce nectar or pollen. To get the most bang for your buck, you will need perennials with long blooming periods. Shrubs or trees can be miracle workers, too. Now, bare with.1 to 3 acres (American standard, yes? As in 4.8k to 14.5k square yards?) is huge by Belgian standards, I myself have a plot about 800 square yards, which is modest. In those 800, I have managed to squeeze enough plants to feed a single hive in a good year. You could be golden. I'll write up a list with their Latin name in a bit, but let's talk the philosophy behind those choices. If I explain the line of thinking, you might be able to find plants yourself.

So as I said, you'll want variety, to make sure you have enough different types of pollen to cover their amino acids (you could do this with just two, but the more variety, the more failsaves).

You want plants that are confirmed nectar sources for honey bees. Other keepers usually have a good idea of which plants work.
Just because solitary bees, bumblebees or butterflies can reach the nectar of some plants, doesn't mean honey bees can. Honey bees have shorter tongues and can't always reach the source. As a rule, the less cultivated a plant is, the more easily it can be reached. Rosa rugosa is one of the best roses to have for bees, English roses suck for bees since they can't find their way through the petals to get to the nectar. Same for, for instance, dahlias. Single dahlias (dahlia mignon) are awesome, multiple dahlias suck.

You want some that yield high in short periods since these encourage the hive as a whole to grow, and you'll want some that cover weeks to months of blooming period, so that there's less chance of failing yields due to bad conditions.

You want seperate plants for sunny, semi shady and shady spots. Even if a plant designated for sunny spots grows in the shade, it might not yield nectar in that spot (or at least, not at full potential).

You have to test the pH of your ground and choose the plants accordingly (or do over the ground you plan to cultivate), since the proper soil also has effect on nectar and pollen production.

If your plot is that large, try to have some of everything. A plot with annuals and biennials that needs to be rotated, a permanent garden with perennials, some shrubs and some trees. The rest of the wildlife will thank you. But something a lot of people forget is to plant bulbs and roots (like dahlias, crocus) among their shrubs and trees, some climbers (hedera helix, hydrangea anomala) and creepers that cover the soil (ajuga reptans, eranthis hyemalis) and will make weeding easier on you

Now, as for that list. Since you are Statesside, I don't know which plants you have available (do not be tempted to import foreign plants, try to find a cultivar available in the States), and you need to look at which plants will survive where in the States you're at. Some of these will not survive Alaskan winters, others will not survive Nevada summers, y'know?

I'll give you a longer list, but here are some favourites. A couple of each of these (I have 3 of every one mentioned) should help you through the year. You don't need to cultivate your entire plot for this, don't worry. Of course, more space means you can let them grow larger. I personally spend a lot of time trimming.

Bupthalmum salicifolium
Centaurea montana
Fuchsia magellanica
Mahonia aquifolium
Potentilla fruticosa
Rosa rugosa
Spiraea japonica
Buddleja globosa (and only the globosa, honey bees can't reach the nectar in any other cultivar)

So there were 80% more mosquitos 30 years ago? How come those never die? Smells like bullshit.

And lastly, I would give you more information about the tools and materials you need, but there is a hilarious amount of variety to the point that it's ludicrous.

I would choose wooden hives over plastic, styrofoam or wicker, though. Keep them off the floor, wherever you put them, and give them shelter from a roof and a wall on the rain side.
If you have woodpeckers, surround the shack with chickenwire, those bastards will come after your hives.
It's not necessary to cover them in winter (as long as you're looking at -15°C), but if your area has a history of failing bees due to the cold, or if you havetoo much rain it might be a good thing to build a walled shack with only slits or a single open wall for them to travel outside. Pic related. Having proper walls will also make it easier to work on them in bad weather.

Herbicide is a type of pesticide, tyrone.

Thank you for pointing ouy that distinction to me.

Yet food production is at an all time high.
So who cares? These insects destroy our plants and contribute little to the soil in terms of nutrients needed to grow our crops.

The demand for almonds drives mobile bee keepers to travel thousands of miles. I would imagine that's like spreading the bee equivalent of Spanish Flu in WW1.

That depends on oversight, of course. Over here, traveling to the pollinate for farmers requires a contract, the beekeeper's name, adress, the hive designation, etc., etc.

It's a whole ordeal. Long story short, if you get a -really- infecteous disease, our food safety agency will step in, check whoever else was within a certain distance of your hives during the pollinating, and within that distance of your normal location and, check every beekeeper and burn their shit down. It's quite dystopian when you think about it. It keeps disease in check, though.

But yeah, if they take their beekeepers as serious as they do their illegals working their almond fields, that is a huge den of disease.

You all must be young fags, older timers can tell a vast difference in the amount of bugs you wash off of you windshield.

You’re an obvious boomer for not realizing it has more to do with better aerodynamics in car engineering.

The left's contradictory stance on the environment, you know we need to save the environment by importing millions of third world people so thst can have the 're carbon foot print of the evil white man, is exactly why the right should embrace environmentalism to the fullest.

To really sort out environmental problems it will take some tough actions and decisions the left can not do it.

If the right was not so fucking retarded they would own and dominate pro environmental politics.

No one has been counting the number of insects, numbers of detected species is diminishing.
It's homogenizing caused by logistics of international trade, travel and open borders.
Industrial agriculture might to be killing bees with pesticides though.
Save the world by closing borders and building walls.

Good, either we all die of starvation, or the world figured out how to survive without insects. Insects are some of the worst fucking animals in existence. No other kingdom of life on earth is so fucking alien, cruel, soulless, disgusting.

Find me a mammal that plants it’s children inside of it’s prey, then keeps said prey alive for months until it’s children eat it’s way out of it. Insects do that often. Nature is brutal, but insects are fucking alien monsters. I hate them. Unitonically

No, I revel in the chance to kill insects. I am not afraid of them, I fucking hate them. I don’t want to touch them, but I’ll hit one with a rolled up newspaper, it’s not like they’re a threat to a human, they’re tiny retards. They just look and act alien.

>What's the truth about all the insects dying?
The truth is farmlands are shifting away from large swathes of fields with more trees in between and some fields left intentionally for the weeds to renew the soil quality. Farming is reverting back somewhat to utilize the natural recycling process to maintain quality of the soil and the harvest.

>What's the truth about all the insects dying?

Given the invasion of non native stinkbugs we've had to deal with the past few years, I doubt it's something that affects all flying insects, because we can't kill these fuckers fast enough, and they survive winter in the northeast.

Were is the kvetch?
Jews I am sure are in the usual fashion making a disproportionate amount of money off insecticides yet the effect of negative effects of insecticides are being labeled as a conspiracy so the Jew can make money? The Jew already is making money off of the planet's destruction. And they are not going to stop.

This place is fucking retarded. No shit Jews view us as the goyim.

You are right for a lot of the ideas you have but you are wrong blaming one company its the idea that breeding for resistance will solve all the issues. It's literally an arms race for breeders vs pathogens. It's the literal retards who decide not to keep heirloom seeds which would have healthier genetics. One of the big issues is monoculture and the lack of genetic diversity and natural biological controls.

If you are interested in the real scientific term to back your ideals look up Flors which allows for breeders to breed genes which can produce toxic proteins. I'd even say that GMO's are safer than some of the breeder's plants.
