bees are disappearing like socks in the dryer, only the socks can sting you and the dryer is a lot bigger and not very good at drying things all the time

when was the last time you bought new bees? or made your own? I personally have never bought bees before, so if anyone has a good connect I can reach for some bees I'll definitely check it out

Official Report from NASA: No bees in space, sorry, we thought we could help.

NASA is working on a bee-powered robot to send into space, hoping to one day provide honey on an intergalactic scale

a year and a half goes by, thousands of emails I've sent out myself go down the drain, all because Buzzfeed ignored my request to become a 24/7 bee newsletter

*setting: a round table discussion with several notable academics.*

richard dawkins: "what we can all agree on, however, is the need for more bees."

piso mojado, blowing bubbles out of a pipe: "actually, my dear friend, we need fewer bees. perhaps even...no bees."

Macnult

regardless of what piso mojado likes to blow there are now less bees than what we started with

Macnult

i have only myself to blame. this blueprint is quite the task, and I don't know if it'll even work

can we please get more bees now

NPR posted:

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has designated the rusty patched bumblebee an endangered species — the first such designation for a bumblebee and for a bee species in the continental U.S.

The protected status, which goes into effect on Feb. 10, includes requirements for federal protections and the development of a recovery plan. It also means that states with habitats for this species are eligible for federal funds.

"Today's Endangered Species listing is the best—and probably last—hope for the recovery of the rusty patched bumble bee," NRDC Senior Attorney Rebecca Riley said in a statement from the Xerces Society, which advocates for invertebrates. "Bumble bees are dying off, vanishing from our farms, gardens, and parks, where they were once found in great numbers."

Blessed are the poor in nectar: for theirs is the hive of Honey.
Blessed are those who bumble: for they will be drones.
Blessed are the larvae: for they will inherit the fields.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for pollen: for their legs will be filled.
Blessed are the stingless: for they will not rip their butt off.
Blessed are the pure in spit: for they will make hexagons.
Blessed are the dancemakers: for they will bzzz bzzz bzzzz.
