Good Golly, Miss Molly
Little Richard
1956

Good golly Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you’re rockin’ and a rollin’ can’t hear your momma call.
Good golly Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you’re rockin’ and a rollin’ can’t hear your momma call.
From the early, early mornin’ till the early, early night
You can see miss Molly rockin’ at the house of blue light.
Good golly, miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you’re rockin’ and a rollin’ can’t hear your momma call.
I am going to the corner, gonna buy a diamond ring.
When she hugs me and kiss me make me ting-a-ling-a-ling
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you’re rockin’ and a rollin’ can’t hear your momma call.
Good golly Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you’re rockin’ and a rollin’ can’t hear your momma call.

Honey bees are an invasive species in North America. So are earthworms, for that matter.

Is your brother a democrat by any chance?

Your brother is not very good at beekeeping. They are swarming for a reason.

Last night’s storm dropped a tree on my hive. It completely covers it. Remarkably the hive still stands—I expected it to be broken. Anyway I’m going to try and clear it up tomorrow am. Hot work in a veil and bee suit (not like John Belushi’s bee suit).

Certain species of earthworms are invasive. Many are indigenous

Weed killer, and other glyphosates are dangerous to all life. Yet they use them to dehydrate wheat for harvest. No big deal, the stuff that says on the bottle not to grown food in soil you sprayed with round-up this year, is okay on food to eat this year if it is professionally applied.

I recall Art Bell discussing this at length years ago.

He’s dead now.

Fron the article :

“onto the endangered species list took longer than originally expected, thanks to hemming and hawing by the Trump administration and its fealty to corporate influence, with the original listing date of February 10 ultimately delayed until yesterday.

In fact, the campaign to list the rusty patched bumble bee as endangered took years “

So, let’s see ... the Trump Administration is to blame for the ~4 month delay, but the campaign took years ... but it’s all Trump’s fault.

I hate these fruity losers and their political attacks masked as environmental screed, but I take some solace in that they probably cannot sleep at night knowing that Donald J. Trump is President of the United States of America :-).

First it was the Tuna and now it’s the Bumble Bees. Sh*t! No wonder shopping isn’t any fun anymore.

One solution would be to find thriving hives to create new hives and place them in remote locations far and wide.

The sooner the better.

Instead they'll spend research money to find the cause while bees die.

You are so right! I have a butterfly garden where the city had done work on our lot and left a red, muddy, eroding mess.

Nobody has said anything yet, but I know one of the local Barney Fifes will come up and try to cite me. Purple coneflower, liatris, Turks-cap, etc., etc. It’s the one case in which the university connection might help. I can use the liberals to put some green pressure on the apparatchiks.

They tried to take our chickens away years ago. I countered to my good friend the mayor (alas, no longer with us) that I would go throughout our local black community and give them chickens and do an article in the local paper about how citizens should be REQUIRED to keep chickens in case of a national emergency (how’s that for Trumpian bargaining?). Of course, I don’t believe in any such thing, but they don’t know that. Heh, heh, heh. If I had roosters or guineas, I could see the problem, but on two acres at the top of the hill, my laying hens are none of their business.

Those “yellow and black psychopaths” are mostly scavengers, and quite beneficial.

They’re only a problem if you fail to keep your yard properly irrigated, allowing them to colonize a crack in dry clay near your house for a nest.

Or, trying to breed them in captivity and redistributing them... why not.

They might have to breed a pesticide resistant form of the bee. Then it will get together with some hornets and we will get a super bug.

Can’t win that way, because then mosquitos will breed there.

In one paragraph, they blame the Trump admin for the delay. Then, in the very next paragraph, they say that this has been worked on for years. These people aren't bright.
