That’s funny!
"In Britain we haven't had our fair share of bee research funds"
Gee, I wonder what's in it for him?
Bush’s fault!
WHERE ARE ALL THE DARWINISTS. This is a perfect example for the survival of the fittest. Those bees with no resistance die. Those with resistance live and fill the empty spots.
Why is it always 10 years?
Global warming is the root cause, of course.
I just used two over-used buzz words in one sentence. Wow...
Customer: In that case, give me a bee license. Shopkeeper: A license for your pet bee? Customer: Yes. Shopkeeper: Called Eric? Eric the Bee? Customer: No. Shopkeeper: No? Customer: No, Eric the Half-Bee. He had an accident. Shopkeeper: You're off your chump. Customer: Look, if you intend by that utilization of an obscure colloquiallism to imply that my sanity is not up to scratch, or indeed to deny the semi-existence of my little chum Eric the Half-Bee, I shall have to ask you to listen to this! Take it away, Eric the orchestra leader!....... A one... two.... A one.. two.. three..four... [piano intro] Half a bee, philosophically, must, ipso facto, half not be. But half the bee has got to be, vis a vis its entity - do you see? But can a bee be said to be or not to be an entire bee when half the bee is not a bee due to some ancient injury? Singing... La dee dee, 1 2 3, Eric the half a bee. A B C D E F G, Eric the half a bee. Is this retched demi-bee, half asleep upon my knee, some freak from a menagerie? No! It's Eric the half a bee. Fiddle dee dum, Fiddle dee dee, Eric the half bee. Ho ho ho, Tee hee hee, Eric the half a bee. I love this hive employee-ee-ee [with buzzing in background] bisected accidentally one summer afternoon by me I love him carnally. He loves him carnally... [together] ...semi-carnally [spoken] The end 'Cyril Connelly?' No! 'Semi-carnally' Oh! Cyril Connelly [sung softly and slowly]
Huckabees may be wiped out in 10 years..
Why in the “H” is it going to take TEN YEARS?/sarcasm
That works if there is time for the population to evolve adapt to the threat/change in environment. If the threat/change in environment is so severe that it wipes out the species before it has time to adapt, that's what "DARWINISTS" call extinction.
Does that clear it up for you?
Actually the problem lies with all those “Green” environmental-friendly earth-lovers. The “natural” pesticides used in organic farming has the side-effect of killing insects other than just the intended ones. All of the bees dying off is a result of these new methods of organic pesticide.
Why a plague on honeybees? Why not a plague on mosquitoes? Then government inaction would be seen favorably, and everyone is happy.
Any time I see the word "May" in a headline, I add "Then Again, Maybe Not" to the end of it.
Africanized bees appear to be immune. http://www.themonitor.com/onset?db=monitortx&id=864&template=article.html
That’s to give everyone time to forget about it when your prediction doesn’t happen.
It’s called the Ehrlich/Danson/Algore Gambit.
It’s also used in reverse - like when Bill Clinton took credit for the booming economy that Reagan created as the trickle down took effect during his Presidency. Nobody remembered that it started with the Reagan tax cuts. (Well, a few of us did.)
I had someone tell me the honey bee was disappearing because people like me put chemicals on their lawn so the dandelions can’t grow..Therefore, the bee can’t pollinate etc....
"You should check your hives...I think you'll find one of your bees is missing."
