Asta e adevarata tragedie si criza umana a zilelor noastre ... CCD, adica ..."Colony Collapse Disorder"
Am o mare admiratie pentru albinutze ...
Etic, le consider superioare omului.
Isi indeplinesc menirea, muncesc enorm pentru folosul altora, fara sa ceara nici un salariu.
Societatea lor exemplara are o ierarhia lipsita de pretentii.
Isi deservesc Regina pentru meritele ei recunoscute de toti.
Unii chiar isi dau viata pentru ea, intelegind ca doar prin EA isi asigura perpetuitatea ... Albinutele nu fac bravada "altruismului" demagogic !
Sint convinsa ca Dumnezeu le considera drept creatia lui cea mai reusita ... ,
de altfel chiar a cerut neamului "ales" sa incorporeze mierea de albine in rutina talmudica zilnica, mierea reprezentind antidotul pentru experientele amare ale vietii.
S-ar putea ca aceasta disparitie misterioasa a coloniilor de albine sa fie o pedeapsa subtila, insa extrem de cruda a Creatorului dezamagit de specia umana. O pedeapsa foarte grava !
Iata cit datoram albinutelor:
"As honeybees (Apis mellifera) gather nectar to produce honey, they pollinate agricultural crops, home gardens, orchards and wildlife habitat. As they travel from blossom to blossom in search of nectar, pollen (male sperm) sticks to their furry body and is transferred to another flowering blossom enabling it to swell into a ripened fruit.
Almonds, avocados, blueberries, cantaloupes, cherries, cranberries, cucumbers,
watermelon and many other best-selling crops all rely on honeybees for pollination. Apples are completely dependent on insects for pollination and the honeybee performs 90 percent of that pollination.
It's estimated that about one-third of the human diet is derived from insect-pollinated plants and three-quarters of all plants on the planet depend on insects or animals for pollination."
That is why Albert Einstein once said: “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination … no more men!”
Fireste ca Einstein nu a zis fraza asta, e un citat care i-a fost atribuit in mod fals ...,
insa entomologii din lumea larga sint de acord ca aceasta brusca si misterioasa disparitie a albinelor va avea consecinte grave pentru omenire.

Iata un video care explica cite ceva despre Colony Collapse Disorder
site`ul are o intreaga serie de videos legate de subiect.
Iata si un update despre CCD din 2007:
Luckily this past September, there was a big break in the case. A team of scientists led by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Pennsylvania State University, The Pennsylvanis State Department of Agriculture and Columbia University linked CCD with a virus imported from Australia,
IAPV or Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus.
Over the past three years, genetic tests on bees collected from stricken colonies around the U.S. found the virus in 96 percent of bees from hives affected by Colony Collapse Disorder.
IAPV had not historically been present in U.S. bees.
In fact, it was only discovered in Israel in 2004, the same year American beekeepers started importing packaged bees from Australia.
“Before that, nobody knew to look for it,” says Jeff Pettis of the United States Department of Agriculture’s Bee Research Laboratory. “As people began to look for it, it was found in China, Australia and the U.S.”

Problema asta este foarte acuta si este tratata relativ mult in presa.
Am auzit si eu la radio cateva reportaje despre boala misterioasa.
Pana acum nu s-a gasit nici un antidot. Dar daca colapsul se intinde, vai si amar de noi.
Uite alt site care trateaza problema.
BTW, traditzia evreiasca este sa mancam cateva bucatzi de mar muiat in miere de Anul Nou evreiesc.
Israelul este numit doar "tzara unde curg laptele si mierea". Peste tot de Anul Nou se ofera ca mici cadouri simbolice borcanase de miere produse mai ales in kibutzul Yad Mordechai langa Askelon, care are o stuparie cu 5 mii de stupi si un centru de vizitatori.
Mierea de albine este considerata "kosher" chiar daca albina nu este o creatura kosher.
Rabbi Berel Wein explica:
The use of bee honey as a permissible kosher food raises an interesting halachic question.
The general rule is that food products that are derived from non-kosher creatures are never considered to be kosher for Jewish use as a food.
Bees are a non-kosher species of insect life, and therefore one would think that the honey that they produce within the sacs of their bodies would also not be kosher.
Why is honey different from, say, milk from a camel that remains non-kosher, since the camel itself which gave the milk is a non-kosher animal?
The rabbis of the Talmud studied the problem and decided that the sac in the bee that contains the honey is halachically considered to be only a storage place of the honey, and neither it or the honey produced are an integral part of the bee's body.
By contrast, the milk-producing organs and the lactating process of the camel are an integral part of the camel's circulatory and digestive system, and thus the camel and its milk product both have the same status of being non-kosher.
Its symbolism of sweetness in life, its connection to the Land of Israel, its role in halachic discussion, decision and precedent concerning its kashrut, ...
all have combined to make honey a "Jewish" food. The use of honey as a food is certainly one of the more enjoyable customs of Jewish tradition.
May its symbolism of sweetness truly be a harbinger of delight for the good year for us all.
