Dear Friends and Colleagues

*Why Andrew Cuomo's Pollinator Task Force Won't Save New York's Bees*

*Synopsis*: Beekeepers across North America, including in New York state,
have been experiencing unsustainable losses of honeybee colonies from
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). These problems of managed bees are probably
connected to a general decline in pollinator species being experienced all
over the globe. In the US the Federal Government has passed much of the
responsibility for solutions to individual states. It has asked them to
create their own "Pollinator Protection Plans". This buck-passing is not
producing promising results however, as this example from New York state
shows.

Apologies for cross posting

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits
and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic
society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society
constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of
our country.”—Edward Bernays, Propaganda
