Goodbye Bees.

Albert Einstein said, "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."

Now that his happening in the USA and Germany, when do we start the clock? 4 years?!

Gunther Latsch in Spiegel
, makes a connection between GM (genetically modified) usage in both countries leading to conditions that are causing bees to die by the millions. It's estimated that the agricultural damages will be $14 billion.

We need to move beyond the economic costs and thik of what it means to life on this planet: no bees, no plants, no oxygen = death.
