Everyone talks about how bad this was but what were the findings? Did they at least advance psychology?

So, I think you're getting a little hung up on "endangered" vs "declining". Honey bees are not endangered. They are not on the endangered species list. Most other bees are not as well. To my knowledge only one bee is and that is the Rusty Patch Bumble Bee (Bombus affinis) which was placed on earlier this year.

That said, honey bee populations are on a well documented decline due to a combination of understood and not so well understood factors such as:
> Colony collapse disorder
>Varroa mites
>Use of certain insecticides such as nicotinoids
>Loss of diversity in surrounding land cover
> Some fungal pathogens

Here are three papers which are by no means any where near an exhaustive list:

There has also been a loss of pollinators in general that seems to be linked to a loss of habitat diversity world wide. This ranges from bees, to beetles, to bats, to pretty much anything that potentially pollinates angiosperms. As the food available to them is on the decline they seem to be on the decline as well. Here is a very basic review:

All and all, yes, we are loosing pollinators, and yes, bees are on the decline. That said, It does not appear that most (with some notable exceptions) have reached the point of being endangered.

As for your inquiry about cats? Both rodent and bird populations would skyrocket from the release of an apex predator. So agriculture would take a hit, but birders would probably be over the fucking moon.

and for anybody who doesn't think we're enslaved to the current model of physics, here's a group of people who understand the correct model celebrating their successful psychological operation against everyone else

They did it in the tunnel because it represents the vortex btw. All the "satanic" shit and "opening portals to hell" is their disinformation campaigns and retarded religious people spouting bullshit in response to this.

The CERN tunnel is just a giant money-laundering scheme.

Provided it had a budget of $1bn how long would it take a 30 man team to create a habitable semi-sphere with comfortable living space on the surface of Mars and how much oxygen would they need to take to do so?

Would they be able to import soil from Earth and start to grow trees, creating an atmosphere within the biosphere.
