BUT FIRST, the lyrics to one kick ass song by joe strummer and the mescaleros:
Lord, there goes Johnny Appleseed
He might pass by in the hour of need
There's a lot of souls
Ain't drinking from no well
locked in a factory
Hey - look there goes
Hey - look there goes
If you're after getting the honey - hey
Then you don't go killing all the bees
Lord, there goes Martin Luther King
Notice how the door closes when the chimes of freedom ring
I hear what you're saying, I hear what he's saying
*Is what was true now no longer so
Hey - I hear what you're saying
Hey - I hear what he's saying
If you're after getting the honey - hey
Then you don't go killing all the bees
What the people are saying
And we know every road - go, go
What the people are saying
There ain't no berries on the trees
Let the summertime sun
Fall on the apple - fall on the apple
Lord, there goes a Buick forty-nine
Black sheep of the angels riding, riding down the line
We think there is a soul, we don't know
That soul is hard to find
Hey - down along the road
Hey - down along the roadI
f you're after getting the honey
Then you don't go killing all the bees
Hey - it's what the people are saying
It's what the people are saying
Hey - there ain't no berries on the trees
Hey - that's what the people are saying, no berries on the trees
You're checking out the honey, baby
You had to go killin' all the bees
Study Points to Virus in Collapse of Honeybee Colonies
By Juliet Eilperin Washington Post Staff Writer
Scientists yesterday identified a virus as one of the likely causes of the recent wave of honeybee colony collapses across the country.
The study, co-authored by researchers at Pennsylvania State University, Columbia University, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and several other institutions, suggests that the Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV) helps trigger the mysterious condition known as colony collapse disorder, which destroyed about 23 percent of U.S. beehives last winter. The paper is being published today in the journal Science.

My good friend, John (of Axial Tilt blog) thinks that we'll be importing billions of Australian Bees now. They seem to not be susceptible to this virus . . .
we have no idea if that'll cause complications.
that would be ONE HUGE MISTAKE. there are all sorts of plant life and animals we've imported here and there and they just wipe OUT the native population. the fish, frogs,wild pigs, kudzu, etc
that's why I said we have no idea . . .
of course, the bees that are dying off now are European . and the Africanized ones are moving in from the South.
We've fucked it all up already.
i didn't know if the africanized bees were dying off too or not. i guess you've answered my question. uh oh
