What do you mean nobody said it was the end-of-the-world? Libs were ecstatically happy about the end-of-the-world, as usual, and kept quoting Einstein!

Well, it wasn't my fault that the bees died off and flowers weren't pollinated and couldn't reproduce and we all died of starvation.
I just wonder what the Native Americans did before the Europeans imported honeybees to America? Surely the native bees wouldn't have been enough to keep the continent alive? What did they eat? How did their crops get pollinated? Maybe the Americas will go back to the pre-honeybee ecology? I'm ecstatic that part of the European influence will disappear. Next we need to eradicate earthworms, also imported to America by the Europeans.

Fredrick You simply do not know what you are talking about.
A few gloom and doom sayers did spout such nonsense but why are you lumping all or even most liberals with them?
If you are saying that there is no ecological disaster an the verge of happening then you are sadly deluded.
There are several that are currently looming. Will they cause the end of the world? No probably not! But then what if I am wrong about that?
Will they make life VERY uncomfortable for humans? Most likely!
In your lifetime you will see a few of these come to fruition.
Tiger b you have the sizes switched. Honeybees are much smaller than bumble bees. Just FYI!

Not all the bees are dissappearing and nobody said it's the end of the world.
The american bumble bee is disappearing. Since flowers have evolved with their polinators, many crop plants and wild flowers that are polinated by the bumble bee are having trouble as well. In some cases, the African Honey bee (which is larger) has been able to fill the bumble bee nitch. In other cases, especially with rare wild flowers, they have gone extinct.

Who said that would cause the end of the world? It will raise the price of produce. It is a problem, and it is causing bee keepers and farmers distress. But you clowns are far too busy doing the Lord's work in Iraq to worry about American farmers and bee keepers.
