If 40% of your products were dependent on berries, fruits and nuts, you'd fork over a cool quarter of a million dollars to make sure those things were still coming, too.
Haagen-Dazs, whose ice creams are flavored with fruits, nuts and berries, has launched a campaign to raise $250,000 for research into the loss of honeybees, which are crucial for cross-pollination of fruit and nut trees. According to the USDA, diseases and pests have caused a 30% loss of the approximately 2.5 million managed colonies.

The Bees through Eileen Hetherington
This article has been submitted (and the following questions posed) by Peg Hamilton of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
The Bees Protest
What’s going on with the bees?
The entities you call bees carry joy. What is necessary to sustain the life of these bees is the recognition of their role and appreciation of their work and the necessary factors to support their lives. The bees are also in trauma due to the mistreatment of their species. They protest that they are being captured and made to work for humans to produce what humans desire, rather than allowing their natural state of being, which is joyful and organized.
When humans take over the bees, they are attempting to organize that which is in perfection--and the bees are angry. They also protest because there is a natural predator that has been released and allowed to proliferate attacks on the joyful life of the bees. This type of insect that stings and attacks is called a wasp. The bees will not remain when they are being mistreated in so many different ways.
When they go to the plants to make their healing product, the plants are covered in a gooey substance-human-made chemicals that injure the bees’ spirits and bodies. They will not continue to serve humans under such conditions. When humans begin to recognize these injustices, the bees may return.
You say . . . “may”?
The bees take their direction from the angelic portion of the devic kingdom, and if they are so ordered, they will return. People do not understand that without the bees . . .
I think they do know, and I am wondering if they will do it (recognize the injustices).
But they are thinking with their robot minds instead of their hearts.
So the bees do not want to be limited to human-made hives?
The Bees Voice Their Concerns
We will no longer allow ourselves to become slave labor with incorrect methods, because the product of our labor is denatured and contaminated. We will not permit this. And there are also chemicals on the plants. And we are controlled in large hives to produce the way humans desire, and we do not want this.
And if humans removed the chemicals and didn’t make hives to control the bee populations, would you allow the sharing of your product?
Those of you who support organic, natural and gentle methods will be allowed visits from the bees. For those who are without soul in their methods, we will remove ourselves. Remember that we are a species too. We have desires and joys, and we are not machines to be used at the discrimination of humans.
What can we do to help with the wasp situation?
We will not speak of this, except to say that we are using this means of eradication of our species so that we can remove our energies to a place that can benefit from what we have to offer.
You say a place, meaning . . .
Another inhabited planetary sphere.
That’s very plain. And if we change our ways and respect the bees and allow them to be free and respected, will the bees return?
The chemicals must be eliminated.
What particular chemicals?
Petroleum-Based Chemicals and DNA Alteration
Petroleum-based chemicals that kill other beings. Also in our travels, we have found plant forms that are not as the creator intended. They have been altered and made to suit the whims of stupid humans. The DNA material has been altered and is detrimental to our bodies. When consuming material from these plant forms, we cannot reproduce properly. How can you humans not see this?
We have been ignorant, but we can change.
We are not convinced of this!
I understand.
You must appeal to the angelic rulers of our kingdom--the devic forces who control the comings and goings of various species on this planet. And we must have strong assurance that immediate changes are forthcoming.
I am very sorry for what we have done.
Thank you human. We now take leave of this being.
I will try to get this information to those who can affect changes.
*********************************************************
After the session, I asked what the channel experienced, and she said that bees were all around her head and asked why. I explained the situation with the bees and that science did not know what the problem was. She was unaware of the situation.
I ask each of you to please make an effort to pass this information along to those who are researching this question. We can certainly appeal to the angelic forces to forgive our ignorance and give us the opportunity to correct it. Bless us and the bees!
