I've got honey bees - Page 3

 




    Yep; the 12y/o "Doublewood' product. But I hardly think 2 U.S.
ounces daily is going to effect my mental state.

There are times when your posts suggest significantly more.

And then there's the alias.

 




    What: I give specifics for my objections to honeybees being allowed
escape and remain in the natural environment and I'm a  juicer?

    My, but you _are_ impressionable ;-)

 





    Take a few minutes to read a book and you'll know.

    Who said other bees do not. But they got the mites and funguses
from the honeybees.

    Get a book a read it. It's been a growing problem for at least 40
years.

    Those named items are rarely, if ever, applied in the wild.
However, they do take out honeybees in greater proportion due to the
bees' proximity to commercial crops and "improved"  human habitat where,
despite beekeepers' best efforts, exposure is inevitable.

    Where did I say that? Careful; your mental capacity is showing.

    No; just the invasive/destructive ones, such as:
"walking" catfish; talapia (Nile perch);"wild" horses; free-ranging
pythons; iguanas; European house sparrows; European starlings; Muscovy
ducks; free-ranging parakeets; free-ranging parrots; spirolina;  water
hyacinth; kudzu; melaleuca; Casuarina equisetifolia (Australian "pine");
Schinus terebinthifolius (Brazilian pepper); Hydrilla verticillata;
Egeria densa (elodea); all introduced grasses; mullien; Dioscorea
bulbifera (air potato); Democrats, for starters. Get your head out of
your ass and locate your state's "invasive" or "noxious" weeds/animals
lists for a few more.

    There is nothing "natural" about the means of arrival of the
above-named plants and animals, including honeybees. Obviously, over
time, some of them _may_ have eventually got to the Americas by natural
processes but who's to say if or when; you? I don't think so....

    News flash: Not the entire planet, not even the entirety of North
America has sufficiently cold winters. Where I live, they survive for
years and years in trees, between inner and outer walls of buildings, in
unused outbuildings....

    Clearly, reading for comprehension is not your strong point. I'm
not advocating exterminating honeybees. Get your mother to read and
explain the original post to you. Man, I cannot believe I deliberately
bypassed my twit filter just to read your silliness to see what evoked
another asshole's followup to your inanity. I certainly know better now,
don't I? Back into your box you go....

It probably depends on the importance you put on the survival of a huge slab
of the human race.  Personally, I think humanity needs a good scourge, but
most people don't see it the same way as I do.  I reckon that at least half
of the human race could disappear and that that would be a good thing.  Bees
are important when it comes to feeding humans so those European honey bees
are needed as part of the feeding process regardless of whether we have a
scourge or not.
