Bee Populations Face Another Peril: Aluminum (Videos)

Lab scientists at the University of Keele found the adolescent bumblebees to be heavily contaminated — just as the researchers at the University of Sussex had suspected.

Aluminum counts ranged from 13 parts per million to nearly 200 parts per million, with the smallest pupae hosting the highest concentrations.

For perspective, an aluminum concentration of just 3 parts per million in human brain tissue can prove fatal.

“It is widely accepted that a number of interacting factors are likely to be involved in the decline of bees and other pollinators — lack of flowers, attacks by parasites, and exposure to pesticide cocktails, for example,” Chris Exley, an expert on aluminum exposure in humans and a professor at Keele, explained in a press release.

Not to cast doubt on this research, but one has to wonder if the introduction of the Geoengineering programs are in part responsible for the bees decline.

Again I ask, how is the bees could tolerate the natural levels of aluminum found in nature, but now are unable to?

A reminder: without the bees, the flowers, food, etc don’t get the pollination needs to produce fruits, vegetables, and so on.

Without the bees life cannot be sustained.
