What inspires me today...
Bee attitudes.
Remember a few years back when you couldn't turn on the news without hearing about the mysterious disappearance of the honey bee, but didn't hear another word about it in the media because someone was assassinated/a war started/some oil spilled in Mexico?
I will play the part of news provider by filling all of you out there, chomping at the bit, in to know what happened in the honey bee saga.
The name of the problem:
Colony Collapse Disorder.
There are many theories and factors thought to cause CCD, but clearly my favorite (quickly proven false) theory would have to be:
Cell phone radiation interfering with their homing techniques.
"Why should I care about half the honey bee population dying suddenly and in mass quantities?"
You may, but probably won't, ask.
How does $15 million in crop value sound?
You have no idea what that means or why that is the case.
It's not good. And pollination.
The factors thought by most to be causing this phenomenon: a spreading harmful pathogen and pesticides. These cause an immune-deficiency disorder.
Bee AIDS is real.
Think about that the next time you're sucking honey straight from the bear.
Mystery solved, although why the military was in on this I don't know:

Note that "mystery solved" does not yet equal "problem solved." Hoard honey?
Have you consulted a Ufologist? They might have a different take .. if you know what I mean.
