they will destroy the bee populations.
yes
“The CDC can just tell us all to don beekeeping gear.”
1. Fauci is salivating. New mandates by ... ME ME ME!
2. I guess we’ll have to continue to wear masks under the net beekeeping thingies. Won’t that be cute?
The entire aim of practical politics (and popular “journalism”) is to keep the populace alarmed and, hence, clamorous to be led, by an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
Well, have you checked the inner closet for spiders?
Before funding them, we need to ask how they did stopping the pythons and the snakeheads, both of which are a direct result of decades of open borders.
These two particularly fertile illegal immigrants have continued to multiply and wreak havoc on many important ecosystems...
OMG! I think I’ll get into the chest deep freeze. Goodbye cruel world!!!
Well I got to tell my bee story, although it wasn’t murdering bees that did the deed.
I once lived on a farm. We had been living in Baltimore but my father all of a sudden decided he wanted to be a farmer. The people who owned the farm prior had three bee hives.
What the hell did we know? We were city minions and knew nothing about bee hives.
But my father got one of those hats you must wear when “robbing” a bee hive. You robbed them by blowing smoke into the hives and all the bees would disperse. (the bees were honeybees, needed to pollinate the crops).
Once you smoked the bees out you then pull out the built in panels and pulled out the honey, still in the wax!
One day my father and brother were robbing the bee hives and an entire colony of bees, for whatever reason, got real mad at my brother. The bee hives were up on a hillside with our farm house at the bottom of the hill.
My brother came running and screaming down the hillside to the house with a huge bee colony following him and hovering over his head.
Now all of us were in the house with an open screen door. It was my stepmother, sister and my youngest brother, who was only like a year old.
When my brother got to that door and we all saw that huge hive of bees following him, with my brother swatting and screaming as the bees stung him over and over, my stepmother commanded that we shut the door, do not let my brother in.
Which was done.
Can you imagine that sight. My poor brother getting the shit stung out of him but what good would it have done to let him in the house? The bees just would have following, INTO THE HOUSE, and we’d all have been stung all to hell.
And don’t forget my baby brother who didn’t know nothing about bees or where to run. Well once inside the house we all wouldn’t know where to run either and had a house full of mad bees.
My father managed to get down the hill with the smoker and he drove the honey bees away and my brother....well he had a lot of stings but he was okay.
For years, even today, some 55 years later we all discuss what we should have done that day. Suppose my father hadn’t got there in time to drive off the angry bees? My stepmother argues that to let brother in to allow the bees to attack us all would not have made sense.
But to watch someone outside your door getting attacked and stung to death?
My brother has hated my stepmother ever since.
Frankly I was glad she didn’t let the bees in the house.
Sorry to hear that.
My Texas friend used to live outside of Bremond in a double wide but has since moved to a condo in Bryan. No fire ants in the condo.
When I visited her in the double wide I got bitten by a fire ant...and the itty-bitty scar lasted a FULL YEAR.
Nasty buggers, aren't they?
Pour coffee grounds at the entrance to the mound.
One time my father a I were working our hives. We decided to eat lunch some distance from the hives in a stand of pine trees. After lunch we went back to work and for some reason the bees just tore me up. My dad and I finally figured out that I had 2 bananas at lunch and when I started to sweat they did not like the smell. Needless to say I had so many stingers in my pants legs I had to ride home in my underwear.
Post I saw yesterday.

Before becoming an IT specialist, I was a pest control technician, trained by the 2 leading companies in the industry. Asian hornets are not new. They didn’t just get to the US and they didn’t just start killing people in Asia. I learned about Asian hornets 6 years ago. The media is running out of juicy stories to scare you with. Stay woke.
There’s a video of one of these killing a mouse
Time to bring back the suit of armor.
Hey...these are MURDER hornets. Mere chicken wire only eggs them on.
The Swarm was so bad that I believe the director Irwin Allen would storm out of an interview if it was ever brought up. A lot of otherwise good actors really got stung. So bad its almost funny.
The actor Ben Johnson was actually in both of these movies.
