I can only look at this thread as one looks at a bastard child who is retarded with acute spinal bifida menegitis. It lays there in the crib and you know you should smother it and do the world and it a favor.
Instead you just walk away.
It can be done with a Q tip not hard at all. It's like sex, it takes like 3 seconds to pollinate a flower.BLdw wrote:
We need to learn from Chinese (Maoxian County) and start pollinating by ourselves. Hand pollinating would create new jobs too...
At first I read it as pollute ourselves and I was like lolwat we're already doing that.. Would pollinating ourselves be worth the cost? People don't work for insanely low wages like in China. Even if they are illegal it probably costs more..BLdw wrote:

Yeah, i love it in my tea. This thread is teaching me new things...I will look for local honey from now on.Canin wrote:
I like honey in my tea. And if you can get local honey, taking a teaspoon a day can help with allergy problems.
I bet you say that to all the boys.1927 wrote:

That is some funny shit mind, Id karma you if I had one.
except for the bit where everyone DIES=NHB=Shadow wrote:
What's funny is all you non-asians rely on honey, while we asians rely on honey also, but we have so many alternatives for honey that losing honey won't be a big problem for us.
There, someone said it for me.Ty wrote:
This isn't a new thing. I heared the 'the Bees are dying' story for the first time back in 2006 and I probably missed it happening a few times before that.
Bees are awesome by the way, don't get me wrong but I find it hard to believe that one organism can single handedly be responsible for the entire food chain. Bees are the major contributor to plant pollenation but they're not the only ones. Other pollen eating insects, (e.g. butterflies,) also help in the pollenation process, even Hummingbirds, (seen a couple while I've been in Peru by the way - they're awesome!)
I don't see the bees dying out. If they are indeed completely and utterly important to life on earth then they will adapt. Earth has gone through many hard times where the humble bee would have been within it's right to dyie out completely but they're hardy little buggers and seem to have pulled through in the past. A decline, sure, but all animals have peaks and troughs.
My Dad was a beekeeper, (part time, still have the suit, now I go out and kill wasp nests in it at $50 a pop,) so I learned from an early age to think bees were awesome, mostly because the honey harvest was an awesome time. I don't give the bees total credit for the survival of every other species on earth though. They're cool but they're not that cool.
No just the ones that are trying to crack on to me.ATG wrote:
