See, now the bee thing I don't get. Everyone says that the bees are vanishing, but being severely allergic to the fuckers I have a stake in observing them, and I can tell you with utter certainty that they have been EVERYWHERE the past few years. I said something before about taking photos of a sculpture park for a website and being trapped in a meadow swarming with honeybees. There are more honeybees...not yellowjackets, not bumblebees, not wood bees, HONEYBEES...in my yard than ever before. They run the butterflies off my butterfly bushes and the three big spiderwebs I brought down yesterday had two or three honeybees in them apiece. So maybe this virus-parasite-whatever just paved the way for a new race of superbees or something, because they sure aren't scarce around here.
