Hank Taylor Posted May 2, 2014 Share #1  Posted May 2, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) The principal purpose of a flower is the reproduction of the individual and the species and without pollination there would be no flowers . How sad that would be for mankind. Now you know why flowers are beautiful, to attract insects for pollination. Thank you mother nature:)  Hank Welcome, dear visitor!

Iduna Posted May 2, 2014 Share #2 Â Posted May 2, 2014 Hank, Â good lighting and sharp details. Velvetian colors are attractive and our imagination of its fragrance is being aroused. Â The pollination is a field for serious discussion here. Bees are dying fro different reason like monoculture, poison, environment pollution and genemanipulated crop. There is a warning from scientist that if the bees are dying, mankind will be dying very soon. Mankind is able to change agricultural methods, the problem is we are very slow to act accordingly because a shortsided business lobby is dominating our political decisions.

At this time we are not sure why,but to summarize that the the pesticides are the main reason may not be completely correct. The EPA has been moving slow on this matter because of the money being made in these products. best regards hank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Taylor Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share #6  Posted May 3, 2014 Hank, A beautiful picture and interesting dialogue with Iduna.  Paul  Thanks Paul I enjoyed the dialogue with Iduna and although I'm an Environmental Hygienist I don't have the answer why the honey bees are dying but I'm pretty sure there are many who are blaming the manufactures like Shell & Bayer. For the past 20 years, parasitic mites have caused extensive damage to honey bees contributing to the disastrous bee colony collapse disorder (bcc). Hopefully before too long we find the answers. hank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
