Do not confuse the text of the headline with my personal sentiments. You’re raising questions that I already did in my comments.
Yes, bees are important to agriculture in the western hemisphere in the 21st century. Yes, it would be very bad if they died off. But this whole protest is utterly silly for the reasons that we both have enumerated.
My first thought on the matter was, why don’t they just take a garden hose and wet the ground around their hives. The bees would know what to do. They’re programmed to forage. WTF do they want with the POTOC. A Mayan rain dance with a sacrificial virgin?
I’m sorry. President of Chile would be acronymed POC.
