The Bumble Bees

I know this is really far off of my topic of internet marketing but I just wanted to find out what people thought about this subject:

This weekend my family and I rented the movie, "The Happening" by M. Night Shyamalan.  I liked the movie, it gave me some goose bumps.  There was a few in my family that thought it was stupid, but hey, ya can't please everybody right?

Anyways, what really got my attention was about the Bumble Bees.  I had no idea that the Bees are dying.  So I got online and did some research. (Man I love the Internet, it's just one living breathing encyclopedia isn't it)  The reports say that Great Britains Bee population may be completely extinct in ten years.  And the United States has already lost 1/3 of it Bee Population. Wow!!!

And to top that off the rumor is (and it makes sense to me) that if all the bees die, then all the food that they pollinate die as well.  If all the food that bees pollinate die then our world is then in for one major food shortage.

It is qouted by someone, some say Einstein, but I doubt it, that “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.”  

That's some deep shit. Whats really scary is it seems no one has a clue as to why it's happening and how to stop it.

Is man's whole world dependent on the life of one insect?  We have caused the extinction of many of God's creatures and none of them affected the whole food chain.

Any Thoughts?
