simbioo

At the 25th Italian Congress of Professional Beekeepers in Sorento, Jan. 21 - 26,2009, two scientists from University in Padova presented those in attendance with amazing proof that the talk around the water cooler, now has some substance. Prof. Vincenco Girolami, Univ. Padova, has proved beyond any doubt, that many insecticides which are used to treat seeds are deathly dangerous to all insects and other living things - not only bees. They found that the sprouting/growing plants, (Corn in this case) create/leach through active growing period, on its leaves, tiny drops of watter-like liquid, which is seen as dew and is highly desirable to all insects as a form of water. (To many - the only form of water!) Bees are very found of this, slightly sweet dew, and they collect it “en mass” in early morning, before the sun and wind dry it up. If the seeds of corn, or other crop, were treated with insecticides, that insecticide is contained in this dew and is highly toxic to visiting insects. It has been proven that this “morning dew” is deadly for bees! If a bee drinks it - it will die within 2 to 10 minutes! If it only tastes it - it will die within 20 to 40 minutes!
Professor Andrea Tapiro, university of Padova, did collect this dew and analyzed it. It shoved that it contained insecticide which contains neonicotinoids and concentration in her sample contained 10
mg, to one litre of this morning dew. Known fact is, that that contaminant is deadly to bees and other life
in much, much smaller amounts!
They even made a video where they planted treated seeds and collected those drops of dew and fed them to bees. The results are self-explanatory. . .
