There are currently no legal protections around its trade.

The article shows a bee mounted in a box. Did they kill and mount the only bee they found?

Well,... They kind of had to kill it, in order to save it.

That and it frightened them, badly.

I once nailed a big bumblebee with a tennis racket. It sure turned into a dot fast. Made a nice “ping” sound.

Interesting tidbit vis-à-vis Mayberry:

Why is everyone in Mayberry so happy?
Because no one there is married.


Except Otis Campbell the town drunk. He's married and I think that speaks for itself.

Nice find!

I’m still looking for an old black and white movie about bees that had accidentally been irradiated.

Peter Graves?
