Do you think bees are hyperdimensional?

Some people (apparently born in wooland) seem to!

I almost posted this in the science/mathmatics forum, then laughed to myself. Seems the radio host who irritates me the most, Art Bell, had a guest on this morning, Richard Hoagland, (http://www.enterprisemission.com/) who believes bees are disappearing because they are going to another dimension. Colony Collapse Disorder is a serious problem, and I don't think people like Richard are helping the cause much.

On the other hand, maybe he's the only one on the right track??:rolleyes:

Well I know they are magic because "science says they can't fly"!

Hyperdimensional?

Nah, but maybe they live with the SETI aliens, or somewhere in a multiverse, or with all those strings from string theory. ;)

But that's bumblebees, not honeybees.:D

Not to mention.............

Goodbye and thanks for all the pollen...

For some reason my baloney detector went off when you mentioned Hoagland. My shields are up.

Perhaps he and Art Bell should go looking for them.....

If we're talking about Col. Col. Dis. (CCD), my bet is on the vast amount of pesticides being used :( in the US... I have nothing to back up claim, except that it seems that the widespread practise in the US to actually move bees around to fields (infected with pesticide) seems to have worsened, or at least contributed to the problem.

In Denmark, where most bees are kept in on-the-ground hives, and where pesticides are not just as much as un the US, the CDD seems to be less widespread.

The only problem with this hypothesis (or theory?) then is that we should see dead bees around the fields in the US and other places. We don't. The bees just seem to disappear... And while bees flying into another dimension seems possible, it also is highly unlikely...

Pesticides, especially the new nicotine-based variety, would be my guess too. If there's one thing humans are good at it's screwing up the environment!
