Honey Bees or vicious wasps (and the 2011 NSW election)?

This sunny morning, I found myself "parked" in a Victorian forest, one which was burned-out in the February 2009 bushfire, and, several kilometres from any towns, I noticed an aggressive little character loitering around my ute.

So, I scribed and sent the following to our Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment.

It may be worth noting that when I was living in northern New South Wales, I was terrorised regularly by apiarists, one of whom, finally had me decide to leave NSW. There is no doubt that the last one, who claimed to be from Lismore, was doing the terrorising on behalf of the horrendously corrupt NSW police, particularly of Lismore station. But word was, that they were terrorising me under the orders of the New South Wales ALP "Rum Club" government. The same pro-IMF mafia, also known as "The Firm", who are costing the rest of the ALP, government and votes across the nation.

(There is no doubt that the apiarist was "pretending to practice witchcraft" on me up there, so, it is as likely that these little invaders, near where I "park" in this Victorian forest, were transported down here by a cohort of motorcyclists from NSW, who camped nearby last weekend, and constantly rode their bikes up the isolated bush track I was stopped on, and the bees were plonked nearby, to further his psychotic terrorism of me. But that's just speculation?)

Nevertheless, there is a NSW state election in about March next year. The ALP is not at all a "shoe-in" to stay in government, in-the-main because their horrendously corrupt cult practices have been exposed.

However, it will be the test-of-tests, to see if the People of NSW can break free from the 202 years of post-Rum Rebellion hexes and serious corruption, because until now, every election has merely been a "change of the guard" and the other side of the FOREIGN IMF rotteny coin, the Liberal/National coven are issued-in. Things, corruption, bad laws, terrorism and general ignorance and apathy continue as before.

It cannot be emphasized enough how much of a deleterious effect NSW corruption of Law and Government has on the rest of the nation.

It is clear that the only option NSW voters have today, in these rather tumultuous times, is to vote in a Green government, whether Australia's Greens Party is ready to govern or not.

But I DO have unfailing confidence in those who give their time, Knowledge and Wisdom to the Greens, in terms of Economics, and of Understanding the psychology of the Human beast. As well of course, those who Understand the fundamental relationship between Humans and the Environment.

Clearly Humanity has come to the time where blind faith in an, in reality, brutal religion, (Judeo-Christianity) has passed, and it is now that we are all enwisened to both, what influences our beliefs and thoughts, and our politics and economics.

As Australia is so young a "Nation", not ignoring the "Saving Grace"-type fact that the Aborigine have Divined exactly how we all must live, if we are to survive long term, 2010-on is perhaps "Our Time" when we can make the changes the whole planet needs, in ridding our systems of the deep and longtime corruption which the northern tribes have carried right around the world.

There's a positive spin for ya', from Omaxa bin News-Chop.OM.

Now, sit back and read about another nasty invasion, BEES! (And the Victorian government's DSE?)


Hi,

I noticed this morning several insects loitering around where I parked in the State forest near Main Mountain Road and Cotterell's Track, east of Heathcote Junction, and wonder if they are honey bees, of the "European Honey Bee" type, or are a wasp of some kind.

From the little I know, they are not European honey bees.

I surfed the internet for images of them and other kinds, and they do not look like the pictures of European wasps, which I know have infested other areas not far from here, but there is a similarity.

IN appearance, they are closer to the European honey bee, in that they are more "compact" in body structure, not as "stringy" as the images of the European wasp.

They exhibit something of an aggressive character in the speed and search patterns they fly.

Is it possible for the DSE to send to me, via email attachment, some images of the known bees and wasps which inhabit these forests, so that when I return to that forest area, I can observe and compare them?

I would do the same, and take a picture then send it to DSE, but I haven't the camera equipment.

I contact DSE on this somewhat minor issue, because I am concerned about the regeneration of these forests, since the February 2009 bushfires. It seems a little strange that the insects have traversed so far into the forest in the 13 months since any previously existing bees or wasps would have been wiped-out.

Added to this concern, I raise the issue of the viability of "honey bees", especially of the European kind, in these forests, particularly as the forests need all the natural, that-is "native" insects to aid in that regeneration.

It is well known that introduced bees, for commercial purposes, do great damage to the native variety, and that native bees are an important and integral part of a balanced biosphere.

To this, it seems that the commercial exploitation of our forests for honey, using introduced bees such as the European bee, is not conscionable, and, if DSE is genuine in it's preservation and restoration of our previously decimated forests, the practice must be banned.

Indeed, as so much and so many of our introduced customs and practices are deadly for the sustenance of our continent's biosphere, the issue of providing our taste buds with honey is very debatable.

If, with all the evidence, it is concluded that honey production is dangerous to the reproductive cycles of the forests and bushland fauna, then we white, introduced Humans, need-must curtail our predilection for the sweetener, honey.

Any arguments saying that honey is good for us, are null-and-void, because most all commercial honeys today, are treated so heavily that they have next to no nutritional value or ingredients left in them.

Adding further weight to the issue of stopping European honey bees from being placed in any of our forests, is the presence of the Varroa Mite, and it's spread, as well as the mysterious "colony collapse syndrome".

Therefore, getting back to the insects I spied in the forest near Cotterell's track this morning, and forgive me for seeming to "harangue" the DSE on forest matters (I previously emailed DSE on other forest issues relating to our Eagles and deforestation), is DSE monitoring such insect invasions and populations?

And, once more, might I put the call to DSE that DSE establishes programs to that end, if something of this kind are not already extant?

Finally I urge again that allowing apiarists to leave their honey bees in our forests cannot be condoned, and should, by DSE, be stopped.

Yours,
