Here are a couple famous predictions you might want to check out Joe.

From the *back cover* of the book "Bees"
 lectures by Rudolf Steiner:

"In 1923 Steiner predicted the dire state of the honeybees today. He said
that in fifty to eighty years we would see the consequences of mechanizing
the forces that had previously operated organically in the beehive."

Although the book was originally in German (along with over fifty other 
books
Steiner wrote) translations can very.

What *exactly* did Rudolf Steiner predict or say?

From pg. 44 from the beekeeping classic:
"Honey and Your Health " by Dr. Bodog Beck" (Why would you name your child
Bodog?)
(copy. 1938)

Quote pg. 44-45:
" In 1929, Dr. F.G. Banting, the discoverer of insulin, delivered a
forthright warning on the subject of artificial sugar, saying , In the 
United
States the incidence of diabetes has increased proportionately with the per
capita consumption of cane sugar, something is altered which leaves the
refined product a dangerous foodstuff"

I have read *other places* Dr. Banting predicted widespread diabetes in 75
years if America did not stop its love affair with refined sugar and return
to honey.

What *exactly* did Dr. Banting say and predict?

Should keep Joe busy for awhile.

Thanks in advance?
