AgroaldeaCAUSE LIES IN A PARASITE Asian
"If the bee disappeared off the planet, the man would only 4 years of life". This quote is attributed to Albert Einstein, but why the man would only live 4 years, as he cited by Einstein? Because without bees there is no pollination, without pollination no reproduction in plants, without plants no animals food for vegetarians, and those who feed on them.
But the matter is that there is no record that Einstein has said such a phrase. Einstein quotes specialized researchers have looked everywhere, his books, his writings, interviews, these, etc. and nothing. They even conducted a review in the print media from 1955, the year he died, and the phrase begins to appear in 1994.
And it does so in the context of a protest in Belgium who performed caregivers of beehives. The phrase in a pamphlet distributed by the Union of Beekeepers. They said that if forced out of business, because of low prices of imported honey, then they disappear along with bees, and if they disappeared, so would the man.
Giving the reasons is that the 85% European plants depend on bees to reproduce. "It will be a chain reaction", they said. And they were right.
What was false in his speech was the attribution to Einstein of such that. Now that phrase has circulated by all means the world for years, and more since last year to comenzasen bees disappear.
However, as they had begun to see similar cases in different parts of the world it was dubbed the "syndrome depopulation of bees". He had said that it might be a virus, pesticides, a fungus or even mobile phones. But so far there had been no communication of scientific basis on the matter.
A group of Spanish researchers believes to have found the cause of this terrible evil that afflicts bees Planet. They analyzed samples from all over Spain, and several countries like France, Germany, Slovenia, Poland, Austria and Argentina.
They concluded that the disappearance of bees is due to an Asian parasite, the “Nosema ceranae”, apart from being the cause of depopulation causes a decrease in production of hives.
The Spanish group explains the total disappearance of bees, because the strange thing was that beekeepers were not even corpses. According to scientists say, bees when they feel weak, away from the hive, as a defense mechanism. Thus they die away predators and eat their remains.
The result of the disappearance of worker bees makes the rest of the hive can not survive and just starving. In this way, las pecoreadotas (nectar-seeking) They go out looking for food and not return to the hive, leaving the queen bee, who assumes his duties to death by exhaustion.
To date the only known treatment is a veterinary drug, fumagilina, impinging on the intracellular parasite. However, the controversy caused by lack of maximum residue limits for the active substance, has caused the Spanish Medicines Agency revokes use.
