Thread Name: Where do bees go to die?
Subject: RE: Where do bees go to die?
So if the tradition is that you tell the bees when someone dies, who do you tell when a bee dies?

It's sad that we're running out of bees... sort of makes you wonder about the connection between fungicides, pesticides and nature. We're killing various bacteria and fungi because we want bigger and beautiful fruit, but how about if we're killing the bees' natural antibacteria? Penicillin kills some kinds of bacteria, but what is penicillin but a fungal growth that we've learned to emulate?
