Bees. Cute, fluffy, yellow little bees. Ok, maybe they aren’t that fluffy, but bumble bees are a bit on the cuddly size…anyway, they are dying and I thought that if I used words like “cute” then it might hit home. Then again, we haven’t decided if this is really a crisis or completely normal.
One thought about how the bees are dying is of course the idea of terrorist bees carrying the Israeli acute paralysis virus…that’s right, from Israel. I know, I know, we are not at war with Israel, or so we say. After this spread of the virus it is apparent that the bees are at war with each other and are sending martyrs to come and infect the poor innocent bees of the United States of America. Let this be a warning!
Of course that particular article also says that there are a lot of trends in our bee deaths that have nothing to do with the Israeli acute paralysis virus.
The bee deaths have been called “colony collapse disorder,” they have been attributed, and then rejected, to cell phones and pesticides, to much pollution in the air and global warming. The truth is, nobody really knows what is going on with them. Except that they really are disappearing. At one point the Department of Agriculture (DOA) called the deaths “American foulbrood” and created a antibiotic for it–but they are still dying.
And they are dying in England too.
And Brazil.
And Canada.
So if it bee terrorism it may be worse then we think. The terrorism is spreading. We need out bees. Then again, this might bye what they want and in actuality they are leaving this planet in preparation for the next world disaster.
yeah this trend frightens the hell outta me ! if not for bees , we would not exist , most things would not exist .. or if they did it would be in smaller spread out clusters and cross pollination would have hardly happened at all ..
i tried to pet a bee once
it bit me
jerk
but it was really funny because my foster parents didnt know i was double jointed and thought i was having some crazy allergic reaction
only once they had gotten me to the hospital did they realize …
glad THOSE particular dupes never signed the papers ..
back to bees
in some silly gothy teenage sort of logic Ive always found it appropriate (in a sick way ) that one hive minded population was giving away to another (i did say silly goth teenager ) of course yeah without bees this rock is one sad panda
Bees rule the Valley. But some of the bee keepers have checked their hives and found out that thousands of bees are not returning to the hives. Where did they go? The hives are as empty as burned out tenement buildings. Silent, not humming with life as they should be. Some say that cell phone towers are messing with the bees homing signals and they can’t find their way back again. Maybe they could text message instead.
