going by what you say
leave it
whats peoples hatred of them about?! :?

 

[marin man]

It isnt really hatre cyf live and let live is in most cases a good philosophy....

Bees are more important because almost every food crop that we live off is polinated by bees and they are in massive decline because of various reasons like mites that kill off hives and pesticides that man uses and as hornets predate on bees it is just another problem for them :cry:

 

[cyfa2809]

but that is the cycle
the hornets must do something too

nature only lets live those who are adaptable

 

[marin man]

If bees die out man dies out......that may not be a bad thing looking at the mess we have made

 

[cyfa2809]

i expect man will die out before the bees
but you are right, im sure i read that somewhere too

thats true... but many other insects also pollinate... and to a certain extent so do hornets. they also help to kill many insects , keeping them under control, which helps plants in other ways other than just pollination.
our Bees are definitely in decline... but i dont think its due to hornets eating them all.
everything exists for a reason... I think i was right to let her go.

 

[marin man]

Yes....you are right to let her live......was just saying thats all....

it is mainly the little mites they get that kill bees......it wipes out entire hives :cry:

 

[cyfa2809]
