"I'm beginning to smell a big fat Commie rat."
Bush’s fault
It must be the lefty objective of the day............Our local fish wrapper (The Milwaukee Urinal Sentinel) posted a similar story today.....
Still, this is a development that bears close watching.
"I'm beginning to smell a big fat Commie rat."
Enviromental Wackism, the new Secular Religion. All regions have their wacko doomsday cults, “Environmentalism” is our secular version of them.
It would bee a good time for the guys who sell bees.
Fellow I know of who lost his, got a new batch UPS.
The bees are showing up here even though there is nothing for them to do yet.

“Beekeepers in Texas and several other states send thousands of hives to pollinate crops around the country, moving them from state to state and crop to crop.”
What FOOD crops are dependent on bees? I thought most food crops are grown from seeds.
Do flowering-plant crops - fruit orchards - depend on bees, or do fruit trees make their fruit whether or not bees pollinate their flowers? I thought the only difference was whether or not the seed produced would be fertile or not.
“And their road food diet of high fructose corn syrup has been compared to a human diet restricted to soft drinks.”
This is akin to feeding hummingbirds sugar water and then wondering why they die.
My brother, a long-time bee keeper, says it is no mystery.
He says that genetically engineered crops are the culprit and cites studies showing that certain wasps are killed by GE Corn.
His suspicion, which has not been studied, is that GE Corn is killing the bees. The pollen, or whatever, is poisonous to them.
GE Corn producers will not be entirely happy about discovering they are exposed in a huge liability. Nor will they be thrilled to discover that releasing GE products is having a greatly feared effect on the environment.
A really smart trial lawyer would jump on this with both feet and see if the suspicions of many beekeepers is true.
Maybe the bees are hiding from liberals......
Now THAT is a car accident I wouldn't want to be near.
Wasn’t it Einstein that stated: “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.”
“Is it...a bee?” - Patsy Stone
As long as they are not finding huge burial mounds I will continue to believe that the bees probably joined a union and went on a nationwide strike.
There are other insects besides bees we can use to polinate crops with. This problem has been going on since we have had bees in the US(bees were imported here, before the evil white man showed up, there were no bees here, other insects and the wind did polination). We always survive it. We can simply import more bees, let other insects take up the slack(Yeah, what are we paying them for anyay?), and let the wind do some of the work.
Personally I would rather raise hummingbirds instead of bees, hummingbirds don't sting!
All kidding aside, this is something that happens periodically, just another scrare tactic. The liberals never sleep, looking for ways to terrify Americans.
Since the European was introduced to North America in the 1600s what did the native plants do for pollination before then?
