I don’t think the bee thing is much of a conspiracy.

Seems clear to me that the bees are disappearing.

Unfortunately

Actually most of the butterflies and dragonflies are disappearing as well.

Very sad

I used to see them everywhere. Now hardly at all. 😞

I don’t think those are as Important to agricultural infrastructure.

Also, ngl, I could go for mosquitoes becoming extinct.

What happens if all the insects disappear @Ætos

All of them?

That would be pretty bad.

Yes including mosquitos

They are all part of the circle of life.

To a very minimal extent in the case of mosquitoes

Then what would happen to all the birds?

A lot of life would disappear

Insects cary much of the reproduction cycle of many plants

Studies have been done that indicate mosquitoes have such a minimal impact on the ecology that making the most disease ridden species extinct would not be detrimental.

According to scientists if all the insects disappear...all human life would disappear in 4 years.

I don’t want all the insects gone

Just mosquitoes.

But bees and other similar insects spread much of the pollen

Almost every creature contributes an important part of the natural ecological cycle. Mosquitoes are one of few that actually make things worse.

Now that I think about it...I don’t see earth worms much anymore either 🤔

Worms are good.

Well, some

Earthworms certainly are

Earthworms are very important to the ecological system.

Yep

True

I wonder the impact of herbicides and insecticides on the earth worm. 🤔

Haven’t heard about that one.

🤔

I’m sure it hasn’t been very good

Probably not

I do think Worms are some of the most adaptable species. They probably can adjust more readily than most things.

Our soils are depleted of most minerals. That too probably affects the earth worms.

That said, that doesn’t mean they haven’t been affected.

Our soils aren’t really depleted of minerals.

Yes they are

Especially iodine
