### Yellow-Legged Hornet Discovery, Georgia Agriculture Alert

Agriculture officials in Georgia have confirmed the first U.S. sighting of the yellow-legged hornet near Savannah. This invasive species preys on honey bees and poses a significant threat to the honey industry. The hosts compare the pest to the "murder hornet" and mock potential media attempts to link the insect's arrival to climate change.

### Presidential Bee Task Force, German Pesticide War

- **Episode:** [629: Passport Terrorists!](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/629-passport-terrorists.md)
- **Published:** 2014-06-28
- **Time:** 2:55:10–3:03:34
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/629-passport-terrorists/chapter/presidential-bee-task-force-german-pesticide-war.md

President Obama established a federal task force to address the decline of honey bees, a move the hosts link to a broader "war on Germany." Research suggests that pesticides produced by German company Bayer, such as Imidacloprid, are responsible for colony collapse, despite these chemicals being used in Australia without similar effects. The environmental group Friends of the Earth is identified as a key lobbyist pushing this narrative against German chemical interests.

### Honey Bee Colony Collapse, Monsanto Genetic Engineering

- **Episode:** [65: The Dead Bee Conspiracy](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/65-the-dead-bee-conspiracy.md)
- **Published:** 2009-01-10
- **Time:** 1:14:22–1:20:11
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/65-the-dead-bee-conspiracy/chapter/honey-bee-colony-collapse-monsanto-genetic-engineering.md

The decline of honey bee populations poses a significant threat to the global food chain, as bees are responsible for a large portion of crop pollination. Theories regarding the cause of Colony Collapse Disorder include the impact of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the potential for corporations like Monsanto to profit from self-pollinating crop patents.
