I have been hearing about the mites for the last serveral years. I remember the guy in the office next to me claim the bees were dying due to the US not signing Kyoto. Then the mite story came out. He was not happy man wasn’t the cause of it.
It is utterly amazing the number of Libs I run into that scream about the Kyoto treaty. Not a single one has read it or knows anything about it that I've encountered. Equally amusing is the lack of knowledge that the Senate voted it down 99-0 and it was Clinton, not Bush, who refused to sign it.
