We have known this the last 20 years, people just don't give a fuck unless the after-effects are cutting into their profit.

I will miss the bees. I will not miss the people.

Also, it is fungicide what is the big issue here. It has the same effect on bees as if you were constantly washing your hands in sanitizers. You remove the beneficial bacteria (or in the case of bees, fungi AND bacteria) from their hives, so disruptive and aggressive fungi can invade and destroy them from the inside.

I've read this in an article when I was 11 years old. The problem, as in most cases, are the humans. Some days I am wishing for a huge ecological disruption, famine and another Spanish flu to wipe 50-70% of the globe, even though I know I too might be one to go in such an event.

In fact, that is what the Gates Foundation is expecting to be a coin-flip scenario in their lifetime, which is what, the next 20 years or so! So yeah, prepping in a WW2 bunker with broadband internet and half a year of supplies in the mountains doesn't sound so crazy after all. When shit hits the fan, shoot on sight and salt the meat.
