Bees are interesting. A few random facts:
1. Bee hives make decisions the same way human brains make them.
2. The once common Rusty Patch Bumblebee, now is endangered, going extinct. Other bees are threatened.
4. Bees both pollinate and predict. For instance, Honeybees are European immigrants to America. They arrived with early colonists along the Atlantic Coast and spread west ahead of settlers seeking to live off the land of milk and honey between the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains. There, Native American medicine-men warned tribal leaders that the first sighting of a Honeybee meant white men would be appear over the horizon within three years.
5. To those of us who thought we might make the world a better place for our kids, today's kill-off of bees is just another sad reminder of the many ways we have failed.
