Reply to comment by FeFiFoShizzle in A biotech firm says the U.S. has approved its vaccine for honeybees by BorgesBorgesBorges60
How far back of an article do you want that says chemicals are causing bees to die? One decade old, two perhaps 3 decades old of what scientist have been saying the bee population has been declining? Because scientists have been blaming herbicides and pesticides, plus human encroachment for far longer then they've been working on this vaccine for bees. How many bees live on these farms compared to the wild? Only numbers I can even find are guesses that there is about 2.5 million bees in north america. Any other sources of how many of these 2.5 million are in farms?

Why the fuck are you still talking about wild bees what is wrong with you
They aren't vaccinating wild bees. Stop talking about it.

So how many bees are in farms. How many? What percentage? Can you answer that or no?

It doesn't matter. That's not the point of any of this, this vaccine is specifically for bees in bee farms so it's not part of the conversation.
Again, what the fuck is wrong with you? Seriously, you are acting crazier and stupider every comment. It's wild.

And you don't know how to have meaningful dialogue with out bad mouthing someone for having a opinion. Yet the fact still remains you have no idea how many bees are in farms. Neither do I. Only thing I've seen is that there is a guess of approximately 2.5 million bees in north america. If there is say only 10,000 bees in farms then does this breakthrough really matter if the vaccine doesn't do anything. Then if it does, how do we go about doing it for the rest of the population? That is how you have meaningful dialogue. Not sure who hurt you but you know when trying to have an actual conversation you don't have to be a dick right? Other wise what's the point of even talking if we're not even gonna have dialogue. Doesn't even seem like you care to hear my side of things you're just being an asshole for the sake of being one. You must be a trump supporter only they are assholes for no reason.

I'm bad mouthing you because you are pretending I said things I didnt and bad mouthing a vaccine because there are other problems in the world.
You are acting like you are in a Pepsi commercial lmao.
"Let's all hold hands and stop Monsanto instead of giving bees vaccines" - you
Edit: and ya the percent of the bee population that's in farms doesn't fucking matter because THEY AREN'T VACCINATING WILD BEES. Are you really gonna keep talking about wild bees? Why?
This vaccine is to keep FARMED bees populations up. End of story. Wild bees have nothing at all to do with this. Stop thinking about them in relation to this because it's not relevant.

Okay and how many bees are in farms. How are we to know if the population goes up with out numbers? You got numbers? Forget the wild bees. Fuck them. How many bees are in farms. How many? So we can keep track of their incline or decline of population. When they say 40% have died. Is that 40% of 1,000,000 or 40% of 5,000? Big difference.

152 million. 2.8 million colonies. Just in the US.
Pretty embarrassing for you.

You could just google it lol. What do you think I'm lying? Thats you who lies about stuff not me.
It's not like you will read this anyway you will just lie about reading it like you did with the other article. I doubt you can understand either this or the other article I posted anyway at this point.

Here's where you pretend bee farms populations don't matter
