Fifty thousand bumblebees will be honored in a memorial this weekend at the Wilsonville Target where a majority of the insects died. State officials directly linked the die-off to trees that had been sprayed with the insecticide Safari. 
Rozzell Medina, of Portland, said on the Facebook page that the event will "memorialize these fallen lifeforms and talk about the plight of the bees and their importance to life on Earth."

    There was a thread up about this yesterday, with most of the comments about "where are the memorials for all the aborted?" 
I'm glad I'm 66 and don't have another two decades in this world, as it's evolved......sad.....maybe Mom and Dad thought the same thing during their later years, as they saw their world 'as we know it' being shattered.

    It is bacteria that nobody cares about. All states have law requiring people to kill bacteria after using restrooms if the serve food. Don’t get me started about doctors. Just the simple act for combing your hair can kill or injure lice! The circle of life really rough when people properly groom themselves. Do you how many forms of life are found in belly button lent. If you do your probably a left wing nut. I don’t
