    Yep, this s**** plays out like a bad science fiction film, a large company not giving a crap about the planet and only caring about money.


    No doubt, crops would start failing in record numbers, and we would have another pre-1930's type crop failure issue again if these a***** kept selling this stuff.


    Forget about global warming, these a**** need to be put in their place first and foremost!

      You want science fiction? OK! Everyone sit back for a scary tale. I'll make it about BEES, if that is OK. OK? Here it goes! One day, sometime long ago, almost lost in history, A guy, said to be in brazil, decided that bees could be bigger, stronger, and produce more honey. Hearing about some bee in africa, he decided to mate it with the smaller and more docile european honey bee. OH, it worked GREAT! SOME, however managed to escape. It turns out bees are not too discerning, and the african bees are more aggressive. They ALSO hatch earlier. This means that the next generations queens tend to be more african, and this affects ALL future bees in the hive. They say, if some day, you see a bee hive in the wild, you should be VERY careful! If you are a bee keeper, you should ALSO be careful! WHY? As I said, they are larger and more aggressive. They are now better known by their nom de guerre! KILLER BEES!

      OH YEAH, the SCARY part? The above story is REAL! Africanized bee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

      I have LOTS of them! How about the WHO experiment with birds that has already KILLED several people?

      How about the supposed military plot that has decimated countries? It is only a rumor that supposedly has official evidence, as to who is primarily responsible, but it DOES make sense. BTW I heard about the rumor and evidence DECADES before I heard of Agenda 21, and AGENDA 21 calls for something like it!

        Reason number 4 for "Why I don't own a gun".
        Sickening how these corporations "claim" they are helping the world be a better place.
        Now they're starting to find out the world will only be a better place without them.

    A shortage of honey bees in Florida, and the surrounding states, is really hurting the fruit growers. They rent bees to pollinate their trees but there aren't enough to go around. As a result the price for the bees goes up, there is less fruit and the price of fruit goes up.
