Why be so concerned about bees? Because bees are necessary for the pollenization of many plants that humans eat. Wikipedia states:
It is estimated that one third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination, most of which is accomplished by bees, especially the domesticated European honey bee.One third of human food possibly being dependent upon bees is a significant percentage. Losing half the bees could be devastating.
If pesticides and/or high fructose corn syrup are starting to kill honey bees, presuming this trend continues to increase, the food supply could greatly decrease. (Many are also concerned that the use of high fructose corn syrup, which is normally now from genetically-engineered corn, increases that risk for human health problems like diabetes, which keeps increasing in the world.) Overall, humans need bees much more that bees physically need humans.
Jesus warned that one of the “signs” of the end of the age would be famine:
7…And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:6-8)We seem to be in the time Jesus called “the beginning of sorrows.”
Between the widespread and growing use of genetically modified (GMO) “foods,” pesticides, herbicides, and synthesized sweeteners, countries like the USA are putting themselves at risk for the famines which are certain to come. Losing bees perhaps should be a sign that things are beginning to worsen.
At some time, famine will come to the USA and many will die from it:
15 ‘So it shall be a reproach, a taunt, a lesson, and an astonishment to the nations that are all around you, when I execute judgments among you in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I, the Lord, have spoken. 16 When I send against them the terrible arrows of famine which shall be for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, I will increase the famine upon you and cut off your supply of bread. 17 So I will send against you famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you. Pestilence and blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword against you. I, the Lord, have spoken.’ (Ezekiel 5:15-17)

We can clearly see what Thiel has been studying to support his conclusion that Armstrongist prophecy is true. He's probably also been furiously studying his old Spokesman's Club manual, specifically the instructions for a "Stir to Action!" speech.
This stuff he appears to believe is ground-breaking has been floating around out there for years now. The honey bee information is several years old.
Does he trouble shoot the Armstrong theories by attempting to disprove them? Is he searching just as diligently for the types of thing which would tend to add counterpoint? That would be doubtful, and counter to his purposes as a hapless, accidentally annointed prophet.
His "schtick" is rather banal, and it is doubtful that anyone will be taking it seriously, except for a handful of diehard Armstrongites who got ripped off by the other splinters and are searching for a new home.

To BEE or not to BEE, that is the question!
