Our Friends the honey bees are having a difficult time maintaining their health despite a completely natural lifestyle. They continue doing exactly what nature has programmed them to do,

A great portion of our profits goes to research in aiding the bees.

building their hives, pollinating the world and making honey. However, in today’s world, little do the bees understand the problems with their innately natural functions that lie not only in their own performance but in the degradation of our/their environment.

Pesticides and toxins have the obvious effect of killing the honey bees that come in direct contact with them, but it does not stop with contact poisoning. There now exists a long list of diseases affecting the bee colonies from parasites to bacteria, viruses, fungi and genetically modified agriculture. Additionally, a little understood, fairly recent phenomenon called CCD or Colony Collapse Disorder in which worker bees in a colony seem to disappear.

In the case of CCD there are several theories which attempt an explanation to the cause, all of which seem to hold accountable one or more of the other disease forms mentioned.

In reality we must ask what is actually taking place. Parasites, bacteria, viruses and fungi are integral players in the game of life. They exist in a natural balance with nature unless the delicate balance is somehow off set.

Genetically Modified agriculture contains altered genes that transfer to the bees through their food. These altered genes affect the micro organisms of the digestive tract of the honey bee which in turn directly affects the bees. We need to be clear here that what is being genetically altered in these crops is in an effort to make crops bug proof, infusing pesticides into their genetic structure while many depend on bees for pollination. These altered plants are now recognized as weakened in nature and by natural selection attract pests requiring heavier applications of pesticides.

Pollution comes in many forms, some intentional as in pesticide applications and many simply occur as unconscious by-products of unrelated industrial processes. Regardless of the source pollution is an accepted inconvenience that can and does upset nature’s balance. It is also fairly certain that pollution is not going away or at least not soon.

Now we have our friends the honey bees suffering a variety of maladies caused by nature out of balance due to the impact of pollution in their world. Does this mean there is no hope of recovery and our friends will some day be gone?

Does it make sense that hope might lie in another chemical (pharmaceutical) cure for the chemicals/pollution? Can we understand what is really happening and if so is there any defense for the bees?

Nature is designed with checks and balances which ensure survival of the fittest in order to keep its populations strong. Extinction happens when balance is lost and a species weakens. A chain reaction follows until a new balance develops in a natural selection befitting the altered conditions. A simple basic concept.

Defense against invasion in a body requires certain basic elements. Biologically and electrically correct nutrition, which comes from food supply, digestive processing and hydration and immunity which is supported by proper nutrition.

It is easier to recognize what pollution is doing to the bees than what it is doing to their food supply, digestion and immunity. More than by killing the bees directly these pollutants and Genetically Modified crops has their biggest impact on micro organisms.

Due to conventional agricultural practices and rampant industrial pollution there has been a huge degradation of micro organisms in the soil. These micro organisms are vital and integral ingredients to the bee’s digestion and immunity. Not only do they play an important role in digestive processing they provide a natural chelation protecting the bees from effects of toxins and pollutants thus strengthening their immunity.

We assert that without a sufficient micro organism population the bees cannot survive and with a healthy population they will thrive. A well nourished bee with a strong immune system will resist natural threats such as parasites, bacteria, viruses and fungus.

Our BeeAssist probiotics offer the honey bee just that, better digestive parameters and the added immunity and natural chelation of environmental pollution.

When you offer the BeeAssist probiotics to your honey bees you are offering hope to the future of the planet and all who are directly or indirectly effected by the honey bees job.
