Save the Bees!
I haven’t blogged here in ages, but I do like to blog about bees. Or rather, our disappearing ones. I was surprised that Haagen-Dazs has joined in the cause. Well, what d’ya know, someone is making a documentary about our dwindling bee population. I don’t know why this bugs me (ow, bad pun) when there’s so much else to really piss me off, too. Maybe it’s because things like almonds are 100% bee dependent for pollination. Can you say pollution? Because they’re not dying in Australia.
Bee ecology expert and University of Florida professor Jamie Ellis said earlier this year that genetic weakness bred into bees over time, pathogens spread by parasites and the effects of pesticides and pollutants might be other factors.
