There was a mass slaughter of yellow jackets in FL recently. The largest nest ever documented with more than a million bees and hundreds of queens was totally killed off in one day. There was no memorial and not a tear shed. Sad that a prehistoric site with an ancient hive could be obliterated by a pest service with not one cry of "Shame."

The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation Sure, they care about bees, but their PRIMARY focus is keeping democrat politicians in office.

As much as I think Memorial Service for dead bees is liberal softheadedness, there is a problem, worldwide, with the disappearance of bees due to pesticides and parasitic mites. The disappearance of bees is alarming because of their importance to agriculture....

WELL, ACTUALLY, the bees probably deserve a monument more than 90% of current politicians do - and they are pretty “liberal” about naming things after themselves after WE pay for them!!!!!
One bee does more productive work in one day than a Congress full of politicians and attorneys and an office full of Washington Bureaucrats does in a YEAR!!!!

We have a bumble bee hive that was built in our carport.
If they want to "save the bumble bees" they can take them. If not, they die next week.

Give those noble bees the Nobel Peace Prize.
And, why not? We’ve given it to several worms.

I’m sure there is a joke in here about stingers, but it probably wouldn’t be clean.
