Bastards! This is deliberate — together with paying farmers not to plant crops, burning food plants, burning chicken houses. If they can't get to you you via a needle, they'll try starving you out. Did I say they were bastards?

Oh my god. Cried. As a man that sucks. Alaska is my home. Honey Bees are so stressed as it is around the word. This could be considered criminal negligence. Ecology crime. Sad indeed. 🤷‍♂️🌎☠️😔

If it was a cargo of puppies and or kittens (forgive me), there would be an uproar and those responsible charged/held accountable. My heart aches for the bees and everything they touch. It’s just too much to bear…

Seems everyone is in on Ze Plan, except the unacceptable folk. Not only is the world (deliberately) running low on food but we're running out of conspiracy theories, as there is absolutely nothing too crazy that is not actually happening in real time! Anyone who suggests incidents like this are accidental needs to get the biggest kick up their arse.... for starters.

My wife and I are urban bee keepers we have lost 10 hives because people are not aware of the destruction insecticides and herbicides cause. Thanks for making people aware. We love our bees and will do everything we can to keep them going.

Bees first, us next. Or is it US first, BEES next? This is evil, sad, and most probably intentional. Pesticides have been wiping out bees and other beneficial insects as well (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/pesticides-habitat-loss-killing-insects-entomologist-rfk-jr/).

very sad, this also regularly happens to pigs (who are as intelligent as a 3 year old human being), lambs, chickens, calves and cows (including organically grown, grass fed) on the way to the slaughter house. They do not, by law, have to provided with water, food, protection from the sun or the snow. They are parched, starving, boiling or freezing, and densely packed in with their fellow terrified brothers and sisters for hours or sometimes days. Some arrive already dead at the slaughter house. Many arrive with a least one broken leg.

I wonder if Delta forced those bees to wear little masks? I'll never fly Delta again!

Poor little things. Even when we're treating them 'well' we're treating them badly. http://www.queenofthesun.com/store/watch-now/

Couldn’t read it.

I love bees, they are like little flying miracles.

Nefarious forces may be facilitating dieoff of pollinating bees (generally, not in this specific case which could be due to incompetence) to profit from vertical farming and GMO.

Every bit of this is deliberate. 5.3 million chickens euthanized by way of heating them up to 104°F due to possible Avian flu (1 bird tested pos by way of PCR) and then burying them in a ditch. After the employees at this farm spent 1 month removing the chickens and turkeys they were told to find another job (this was out wesr), 150,000 lbs of ground beef (Ecoli) was recalled, Union Pacific rails cut back on allowing a fertilizer company to use so many rail cars. This fertilizer company was the only company told they wouldn't have access to as many shipping containers, over 40 fires at food processing facilities, planes crashing into these same plants, farmers being paid to literally destroy crops or not plant at all. Bill Gates is the largest owner of farmland in the US (yeah, that makes sense.) Non of this is accidental. On top of all of that, apparently according to I.C.E approx 42 people on the US terrorist list got over the mexican boarder and are now in the US. How comforting is that. I am sure I have more but that is probably enough for now.

while it is tragic, it also underlines the problem with industrial farming and monocultures and loss of habitat. we shouldnt need to ship bees to alaska. there should be plenty of wild meadows and even gardens in the cities and clean air (no pesticides!) so that bees can thrive.

It makes me sick how bees are treated. Shipped around and used as slaves. Seems like it should be illegal to ship them around, like it's illegal to relocate wildlife. Besides the cruelty of it all, they could bring disease to native bee populations, no?
