Honeybee Capitalism

In fact, the pressure on people may be nearing that forced on the Honeybee, which is vanishing at alarming rates and for some of the same reasons that threaten humans. Economic crimes against nature are creating massive strains on all environments, and all creatures great and small which depend on them. Commonly dubbed a globalization that spreads new wealth and democracy wherever it goes, the blight on environments is really nothing but dirty old industrial capitalism in modern dress. The Honeybees are devolving under the perversions of corporate agribusiness, which has been breeding them in unnatural forms so as to create larger crops of food products. Under the domain of capital the noun, product, is far more important than the modifier, food. Whether it is clothing, housing, medical care, or manufactured consumer desires, under the rules of market capital, sale of the product is more important than its use, if any. That is the substance of this cause and effect system: It causes social loss, to effect private profit. http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_1874.shtml [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on April 4, 2007]
