The click bait is seen frequently from many sources and you will likely recognize it immediately. (RT: Bee genocide: Nearly half of US honey hives collapsed in past 12 months)
Before going another word with that, consider their reference source: The Bee Informed Partnership
The partnership is said to be a collaboration between the Department of Agriculture, various universities, etc but they're not identified.
The appalling aspect of the reporting is the number of times some hyperdramatic reference to the collapse of bee colonies is used. When it starts with 'bee genocide,' you likely started dismissing it before you even opened the article and that the article was delivered by Mother Jones probably continues that.
Nevertheless we were interested because a die-off of bees benefits no-one but neither does reporting which throws more melodrama than Kim Kardashian reviewing her latest plastic surgery, or whichever of the JK's does it; we don't care and we're not interested to hear it.
The reason this article drew our attention was it's contrary to reports seen elsewhere in which there has been some amelioration in the bee colony collapses but they weren't specific enough to be used for more than a hopeful source of optimism. Then this article pops up and we wonder who's leading the dog.
Make no mistake of any blind reverence for Russia Today because it's not there and we regard any submission of news from any source as highly-suspect in the modern non-discerning environment. We therefore invite the 'interested student' to pursue your own research with this as we have seen evidence contrary to the article but have not seen further updates.
Note: the interested student is invited to further study or something along those lines is something we have seen so many times and we throw it out as more of a parody than a condescension. We're one of the interested students, see. We don't know and we're interested. That's why I was so frosted with the atheists since they're not interested students and were demanding acceptance of their position or the absence of one, as the case may be.
Here at the Rockhouse, we even need to know if someone bearing gifts is Greek. We have no idea why one should be wary of Greeks bearing gifts but it's a common thought. We're thinking it may go back to Helen of Troy and the Trojan Horse but we're not sure. Again, the interested student may ...
