political nonsense

Researchers investigating the collapse of honeybee colonies in Europe and the Americas identified several possible reasons for the catastrophe which included:

radiation from cell phones; increased solar radiation; bee AIDS; stress from cross-country travel in trucks; or imidacloprid, a pesticide banned by France in 1999 for spreading “mad bee disease.” Investors were advised to put their money in gold and corn futures to profit off the recession that may result from the disruption of the food chain caused by the vanishing bees. Grapes, which self-pollinate, and olives, which are pollinated by the wind, will not be affected by the bees’ disappearance; Christians pointed out that the Book of Revelation predicts that a famine sparing grapes and olives will precede the apocalypse.
