The bee Apis melifera is no longer able to survive on its own in large parts of the world. The reason is that, for many decades, bee management has been geared more towards the needs of beekeepers than their own. As a result, bees have forgotten vital behavior patterns. This must be corrected. For decades, bees have been threatened by Varroa mites and are intensively treated with chemicals and acids. All beeswax is now highly contaminated with chemical residues, a situation that must be addressed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Estilo52\">\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt;\"><strong>The bees under threat &#8211; a possible solution<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The current situation of the bees has reached a very alarming state.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">More and more diseases occur and there is no fundamental change in perspective. Bees suddenly disappear from thousands of colonies without any obvious reason. The beekeepers have to make use of chemical drugs and other chemical substances in the hive to fight diseases. The conclusion reveals, that the bee is not able to defend itself by using its own resources against disease. This means their immune system is under severe attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Estilo84\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><a class=\"Estilo52\" title=\"fundamentales von Dee Lusby\" href=\"\/?p=45\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/resistantbees.com\/fotos\/click_1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0 the solution<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\">The Varroa, for example, shows this problem very clearly.
