Air pollution interferes with the ability of bees and other insects to follow the scent of flowers to their source, undermining the essential process of pollination, a study by three University of Virginia researchers suggests.
The creation of a Dad’s Army-style force to protect honey bees from killer diseases was announced by the Government yesterday.
The plan was included in a new package of measures to save the hives of 200 to 300 commercial beekeepers and an estimated 44,000 hobby owners that are under threat from new pests and infections predicted to hit Britain in the next ten years
Invent a crisis of nature, claim to know what caused it, claim that:
A) Insectisides did it
B) Polution did it
C) Man made Global Warming did it
D) It's a United States government/corporations conspiracy
or
E) All of the above
Do this, and you will feel so much better about yourself. Self righteousness can be so much fun!
