Calling all light warriors - the Bees need you!

[william r sanford72]

tonite will be as it has for me.asleep or awake.working or slacking.a constant manifested soul spirit energy in a constant atainment of inner to outward balance focusing on a 360 wave of this source energy going out ward.sometimes it is golden in my perception.

In my garden I see the honey bees from the hive, bumble bees and wild brown bees. In my greenhouse is a three inch wide yellow jacket nest. This area east of Rainier, WA is mostly homes with large lots, cattle ranches and wilderness. This is still fairly clean altho a cell phone tower is going in a couple miles away. I am thinking organite may protect them all.

I am thinking small pockets of bees will always survive.

I've kept bees for nearly 20 years. When I first started I did it all by the book. I treated them with fungicide every spring, I treated them for varroa mite and tracheal mite. I gave them terramycin in artificial pollen patties and it just went on and on. I managed to keep them alive until about 10 years ago my hives just fell apart and nothing I could do would save them. I took a break for a couple of years and then read about how beekeepers had started raising larger bees. Not significantly larger, but enough larger to carry just a little more nectar, resulting in just a little more honey.

In order to raise a larger bee, the cells that the queen laid her eggs in needed to be just a little larger and the gestation period of the bee was just a little longer. It just so happens that that larger cell and longer gestation period was just what the parasite needed to thrive. There was a theory that regressing bees slowly back to a more natural state would help alleviate the problems. So.....I put together new bee equipment. It required a different rearing system based not on the pre-pressed foundation that imprinted the larger cell into the was so that the bees were given a false blueprint to work with. The new system allowed the bees to decide what size the cell needed to be.

Slowly the bees have "regressed" so that the honeycomb that I work with is just slightly smaller than "standard." I don't use any chemicals at all. I have open meadow and a couple acres of blueberries for them to work with. So far the experiment is going well. We need bees, but I have a feeling they'd be far better off without us.

I can't help but think that the continued advances that we make in food production might eventually lead to obliteration of bees. That will be a really sad day.

Hi everyone,

It would be useful to understand the cause for the disappearing of the bees. One major change on this planet is the new electromagnetic radiation disturbing the magnetic field used by the animals and insects. The consequences on humans are yet to be fully understood. This documentary talks about the bees at 14:50.

If bees go extinct, this is what your supermarket will look like

Well it seems we are focusing on the destruction of bees. Why don't we focus on the uplifting of bees energetically? Sending them the thought of immunity from what ails them?

I totally agreed M.Bee!!
I would like to respectfully ask a favor of you and others who care about the bees. Could you please take a few moments (even 5 minutes is fine!!) and do the short meditation suggested earlier and report back here what you thought, felt, etc. while doing the meditation.

Thanks so much for that gentle reminder M.Bee to get us back to RSA (remote spiritual assistance)!

Love and Peace

Neonicotinoids are under continuing investigation as being major culprits in this particular environmental disaster and there is already sufficient evidence to ban their use, in Europe at least, perhaps we could focus on getting the British government to stop prevaricating (and accepting bribes from chemical giants?) and ban the damned stuff.

Here's a link to an article about the ban in Europe entitled 'Victory For The Bees' which is a nice headline to keep in the forefront of our visioning.

Thanks to everyone for having the wisdom to know how important it is to save the bees and caring enough to invest some creative thought into it.

Hugs

Hello northstar

sorry I am not very good at writing things especially experiences of meditation .Words seem so clumsy and ill fitting !! but I wanted to share so you know I am taking part in what you have asked.
I started by thanking the bees with gratitude and sending unconditional love and I saw them in all there busy business and I sent the love of humanity and expressed that there were many of us that supported them and loved them . I saw the hand of the bees take the hand of an innocent child and knew this aspect of us they embraced but there is part of man that see itself as out side nature and feels it knows best . I was told not to fear change .There are ebbs and flows in all areas of life and at the time of the pendulum swinging out furthest is the time when power shifts .
I also saw a wolf howling at the moon but many thought it was eating the moon .

Thank you for this thread I will send love and gratitude to the bees daily .
I have been working with the bees in my garden and asking what I could do to assist them and I had thought I hadn't received much of an answer but since bill and your threads I have thought more about it and realised how many people have commented on how many bees are in my garden so I must have heard them after all but there is always more to do. so I will send the thoughts out for guidance .

It gives me so much joy to read the stories people are sending about their experiences with the bee-ings.

Thanks William for everything you do for the bees!
I feel so grateful to be meeting so many beekeepers as part of this mission to save the bees. Every beekeeper I have ever spoken to understands how important the bees are. I am honored to know you and the other beekeepers here on Avalon and I am so thankful that beekeepers are sharing their stories herre.

When l visualized the bees... I saw millions of them swarmed together and moving downward in an anti-clockwise spiral form, my urge was to rewind the spiral into a clock-wise motion which is hard to do.. but it shows that this will release the bees from destruction in some way. I have determined that l will (regularly) bring this to my minds eye and continue to correct the downward spiral in the hope that this will effect positive change in the plight of Earths bees.
