‘Maya beekeepers believe that these native bees, a stingless species called Melipona beecheii, were a gift from the god of bees and honey, Ah Muzen Cab, and a link to the spirit world. The bees thrive in the dense foliage that is rapidly disappearing in the Yucatán. They’re also particularly sensitive to pesticides, and their population has been declining for decades. Pech, a small woman with cropped hair, and her six-woman collective tend to 100 hives in the forest. In turn, the bees maintain nature’s delicate equilibrium. Running alongside the forest’s edge are acres and acres of sprawling soy fields. (Read about a journey to follow the endangered Melipona bee.)
Pech’s brother, Jorge, says he’s watched as new crops, pesticides, and deforestation took the number of hives needed to make one ton of honey from 12, around 20 years ago, to between 30 and 40 today. Soon after transgenic soy was planted in the state, he and other beekeepers say they saw a sharp dip in honey production and increase in bee deaths. In 2012, Pech and a dozen other beekeeping collectives filed a lawsuit against the government agencies who issued the permit, on the basis that planting of GM soy was illegal because the indigenous communities had not been consulted. Other lawsuits were filed at the same time.
Beekeepers argued that their bees travel up to five miles in search for food and the increasingly common sight of Mennonite-piloted small planes spraying large swaths of land with pesticides is a death sentence to feeding bees. In 2012, scientists collected samples of honey from Campeche and published a study showing that soybean pollen was widely consumed by bees near the fields, and some samples showed small traces of transgenic soy—though another (unpublished) study recorded minimum contamination. Foreign researchers have found that glyphosate, the herbicide sprayed on transgenic soy, impairs the navigation of honeybees.’

An unlikely feud between beekeepers and Mennonites simmers in Mexico
Survival is at stake as Mennonite colonies’ illegal soy farms threaten the livelihood of Maya beekeepers.

' Reconnecting with the Earth for Personal and Global Healing, Part II: The Calling
Posted on April 24, 2019by Katie Mottram
The wide- reaching rivers of this movement are starting to merge into one collective ocean, and it can’t come quick enough for those of us that have felt this coming for years…
I’m sharing this for Paris, who coined the phrase ‘Rethinking Madness’ (at least for me), and who spoke such wisdom in the #EmergingProud film… “We can’t have an evolution without chaos preceeding it” he said, and oh was he right!
Join Paris and some other amazing thought- leaders in evolving consciousness for this online webinar:
Reconnecting with the Earth for Personal and Global Healing, Part II: The Calling
Thursday, Apr 25, 2019 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM EDT
Presenters
Paris Williams, Author of Rethinking Madness
Mark Lakeman, Co-Founder, City Repair Project
Christine Karczewski, Co-Founder, The Healing Field
Rangi Ahipene, Maori Chief
Moderated by Oryx Cohen, National Coalition for Mental Health Recovery
This webinar series was introduced in June 2018 and explores ways of healing for our bodies, minds, and spirits and weaves connections for repair—not only on the personal, but also on a larger global and environmental scale.
It draws from the premise of profound interconnectedness—that the wellbeing of each of us is intimately tied up with the wellbeing of the Earth It also draws from age-old indigenous wisdom that those who have experienced extreme states often provide the unusual vantage point of seeing the world from outside the limited confines of consensus reality. Therefore, we see an extraordinary two-way opportunity unfolding within human society—on one hand, reconnecting with the Earth offers the potential for great healing of any and all of us; and on the other hand, those who have grappled with extreme states of mind and spirit may hold an essential key in humanity’s return to living in harmony with the Earth and our fellow Earthlings.
Through efforts showcased by the various leaders participating in this webinar series, we find that a supportive infrastructure is emerging, one that is very much needed for resilience, empowerment, connection to the earth, and sustainable wellness in our communities.
