The industrial stage of which you speak, To be chafoin is always a unification, a simplification and a concentration, whether it concerns living beings or not, it is necessarily in frontal contradiction with the functioning of nature. The few examples of "circular economy" which would provide, according to their promoters, so many denials, do not stand up to a little advanced analysis and do, at best (by being indulgent), a little less bad in the worst.

Izentrop, without hasty conclusion, famine and pesticides are just two aspects of an identical and global approach.

it's not because you have a wooden leg that you can not have a glass eye, so maybe not one in place of the other but with each other after that makes the most damage will know Charles ...

The concept of circular economy is a virtuous imitation of nature where the waste of some is the food of others. Thus, in the case of the coupling of a cement plant (highly CO2 emitting), a plant for the capture of this gas that would also use the waste heat of the same cement plant for its process, which optimizes its consumption (this case observed in Canada).
The most famous example is in Scandinavia, with a set of factories operating in a certain synergy; I could find you the precise references, but this "virtue" very quickly finds its limits and remains basically very questionable as to its objectives. If you want, it's a bit like all "green" projects, their virtue depends above all on the focal length used during their observation and if close up they are rather attractive, we quickly realize that they do in fact than pushing back on problems instead of solving them.

If it was starvation how to explain the decimated hives filled with corpses and ... full of honey and fields full of flowers around? : Shock:

So no I confirm nothing at all!

But one does not prevent the other ... and vice versa! : Cheesy:

Speaking of eye glass and wooden leg (not bad expression): you knew that the banner of the pirates was not because of a glass eye but to aim faster? I learned that not long ago : Cheesy:

Otherwise + 1 for the background idea ...

And with the sword, does it work too? : Cheesy:

While Europe will soon ban plastic disposable cups, a new threat to bees: paper cups.
Image
Two studies show that paper cups kill honey bees in India. Important pollinators are attracted to sugary residues left by beverages. Small changes could make a big difference in saving Indian bees.

l could not find an answer in the existing literature. The teacher and his students went to search for bees in six locations in the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India to understand what was happening.

They discovered that a large population of honey bees visiting these "cup flowers" never returned to their hives. The bugs were drowning in the sugary residue from tea, coffee, juices, and non-alcoholic drinks that had drawn them as an alternative food source.

Over a period of 30 days, they recorded 25 211 alarming dead bees in goblets in vendors' booths.

“Each cup contained dead bees, varying between five and fifty. This was found in different places in this study,” said Chandrasekaran, senior author of the journal Disposed Paper Cups and Declining Bees. https://www.dw.com/en/paper-cups-a-sile ... a-44302733
The reason :
The scientist observed no bee mortality in plastic cups during his study. “In the paper cups, there is a porous substance where the sugar remains. It is not present in the plastic,” Chandrasekaran said. In plastic, the sugary residue hardens instead, he added - although no other study has looked into the matter.
