More Evidence Emerges That Insecticides Are Responsible For Collapse of Honey Bee Colonies
April McCarthy, Prevent Disease Waking Times Two widely used neonicotinoids–a class of insecticide–appear to significantly harm honey bee colonies over the winter, particularly during colder winters, according to a new study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH). The study replicated a 2012 finding from the same research group that found a link between low …
Birds Are Losing Their Way Due to Electromagnetic Pollution
Heather Callaghan, Guest Waking Times The migratory pattern of birds – even if it is a dry subject and the aim of comedic cracks – for some odd reason, has always held the high fascination of biologists.Never more so than now… That’s because the classic experiments were so predictable.

Common Insecticides May Be Linked to Kids’ Behavior Problems
Dr. Mercola Waking Times Organophosphate pesticides are known for their hazards to human health. Prenatal exposure, for example, has been linked to delayed brain development, reduced IQ, and attention deficits1. As a result, pyrethroids2—synthetic chemicals derived from natural chemicals found in chrysanthemums—have risen in popularity over the past decade. There are currently more than 3,500 …
Prehistoric Clues Might Offer Answers to Modern Day Bee Die-Off
Heather Callaghan, Guest Waking Times A first-grade field trip to one of the top-ten U.S. zoos led us to a prehistoric bee display. It was much bigger than my little fist. It was like a radish on top of turnip but dark brown with faded yellow stripes and fuzzy tarantula legs. It was so horrifying …
