        The Mayan's were bee keepers... coincidence? I think not.

        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          I think the solution will be to genetically engineer bees with a lead coating.

          Although this may weigh them down in flight a bit

            a good few that is, I've just sent a menial to count them.
            Do you have any other "spare" fields lying around..... my "Bee Buddies" are always on the lookout for good sites..... (obviously rather depends on where you are)

            The traditional "rent" is a Jar of Honey per Hive......... I hope you know what to do with 35 jars of Honey?

                The bees are not dying out - they are going home.
                How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                  Maybe he said if bees died out mankind would survive for years.

                    I love a bit of pseudo science.

                    Keep up the uninformed work.

                      Can't happen, surely? This worried me too:
                      But Professor Brubaker stressed it could have been worse. "'Remember Katie, the posh blonde harridan with a face like a blind child's drawing of a fried breakfast? Imagine if she tupped James, the gobby village idiot who looks like he should be playing a banjo?

                      "When we ran that through the computer we got what was basically a frog crossed with a rhino, covered in matted pubic hair, playing a banjo."
