Help Save Our Honeybees!

PRESS RELEASE

It's all a buzz across the world that the honeybees are disappearing! Recent articles appearing in the N.Y. Times and attendant coverage in most every major news organization in the world speculate on the causality for what researchers are now calling "colony collapse disorder." According to the Apiary Inspectors of America, more than 1/4th of the United States 2.4 million bee colonies have disappeared this year in over 22 states! What is actually happening to about 70% of the bee stock on both coasts of the U.S. is pure speculation, including (but not limited to) Global Warming, bee disorientation due to extreme and prolonged cold weather, pesticides, fungus, virus', cell phone usage and the possible side effects of “GM” crops. Studies show that honeybees annually pollinate more than 14 billion dollars worth of seed and commercial crops in this country, including apples, melons, cucumbers and certain kinds of nuts, as well as numerous types of flowering plants and trees. With more far reaching consequences, however, is the quote attributed to Albert Einstein who said:" If the bees disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man." That just about says it all!

Brandon Pest Control helps maintain the honeybee numbers by contacting a honeybee removal specialist when our customers have a colony near their property. The removal expert will safely remove the colony and transplant them to another location where they are free to pollinate plants and crops without destroying your property.
