I’ve mentioned the bee apocalypse before, and it hasn’t resolved. Now Congress is getting involved which is, frankly, never a good sign. The disappearing colonies are being described as suffering from “Colony Collapse Disorder”… so now we’re ascribing disorders to entire hives instead of individuals. The real cause is still unknown, but is speculated to be “stress”. Those honeybees better cut back on their Starbucks and their corporate meetings… get a massage once in while. Stop to smell the roses. Or maybe they finally evolved enough smarts to figure out that they shouldn’t be able to fly.

Expect higher prices for honey, crop problems and general cries of impending doom.
