i missed the bait, dangit. presumably you have been announcing how wonderful non-partisan moderates mysteriously always favor left wing policies. if so, then all is right with the world. yeah seriously, bengal b, that guy is old school, used to be my favorite poster. also i should note that i was right in this thread and the proper policy regarding bees was simply to wait and let them recover, not to attempt to interfere.
After having read this thread, suffered migraines over the positions outlined, I have to agree. Let em bee and there will be bees. Sterling Marlin would agree as well so now, I am fine with it. Red?
It's too soon to dance. Did you read the article carefully? It's a slowing in the rate of colony disappearances now that the weaker colonies have been wiped out, but far from a recovery. The numbers are still plummeting . . . not gaining. Mysterious ailment shrinks bee population But it is being researched and there is a glimmer of hope. A Low-Tech Treatment for Bee Plague Cure For Honey Bee Colony Collapse?
this thread is just screaming for this song.... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NReZwZ6bnYM[/media]
Help me here, if there is a decline in bees that are being wiped out, that in fact, would be an increase in bees that survive, no matter how slight? Seems that the weaker species is dying and the stronger are surviving with a decrease in mortality, then mother nature is doing her job, perhaps? Did anyone take into account all the bees Kylek has single handedly taken out? I mean the dude is a bee killing machine.
and the bees that did survive would be better bees, hardier bees that can handle the disease. they would be a credit to their species. this is the whole point of evolution. like you said, this is mother nature doing her job. evolutionary pressure, all part of god's plan.
I will stop at mother nature. God's plan is unpublished leaving me to believe that the plan is our own to create. I dig on the by-laws and just being cool but to geaux by a plan simply takes the fun outta vacations, particularly when there is no true plan to follow. Mother nature is published by the enternets and those people surly know what they are talking about. Laxatives have never been better.
for the record, martin's god comments were not to be taken seriously. its a little backhanded comment for you christian believing folk. you and okie can spit the lunker lure out now.
