Let's Hear It For The Bees

Remember the concern about "Where Have All The Honeybees Gone" and then in "Never Mow Again"? Well, there may be more hope. According to an AlterNet article, they may have just needed a rest. Yeap, you heard right. They needed a rest. And you can't blame them. Toiling and toiling, just to have the fruits of their labor end up being taken away. That's enough frustration for any living thing.

The bees are supposed to rest during the winter and use that stored honey to survive. But instead they are trucked around the country to work, work, work. They are crowded together and fed high fructose corn syrup... High fructose corn syrup. Yuck... That's the stuff in nearly everything we consume.

So, with all that unnatural living, who can blame the bees for giving up? They just can't take it anymore.
