Bee Bunny

I was looking for GOOD NEWS this Morning and found this article on Bees.

Sharp bee population decline forces EU to consider ban on pesticides

And thought about 'hand pollination', had another chug of my "High Velocity" coffee and had a thought about a 'world' where the women were 'pollinated by insects but the insects were getting scarce and a lost Astronaut finds himself marooned.

Maybe I need better news or more coffee? Good Pix though.

I think there was a sci/fi movie along these lines back in the late 50's or early 60's.

The Bees are suffering right enough.
If it's not that bloody mite that kills them, it's stuff like Nicotinoids poisoning them. Ye gods, they are declining badly now without mankind helping out.

Pro. A+ >.<

I do hope the EU outlaws pesticides, they might save the rest of the planet by doing so.

As far as the plot bunny, I think a more interesting one would be a story about the guy who thinks that's a worthwhile plotbunny... a story about the writer himself.

Maybe he meets one woman who wants him to pollinate her... happy ending!

I have a bunny, lazy little minx too, about a writer who meets a man who stimulates her, and she starts writing what she imagines. Becomes a best seller and she is torn between consummating her lust for the big black policeman who swings a mighty baton, and continuing her success using him a a muse.

Maybe someday Rachel will let me write it.

Reminds me of an idea -- based on an old Tales From the Crypt episode, I think -- I had about a struggling writer who buys an old typewriter at a pawn shop, then realizes that the things he writes come true, in a sense. He finds that if he writes about someone he knows, they begin to act the way he described. Not an original idea, of course, but it struck me as interesting for erotica. I imagine it's been done, somewhere.

For all the time that the world has been worrying about the bee decline my backyard orchard and vegetable garden have continued to produce fruit. I wondered about that. Then one day the terrorier and I were out for a walk and we happened upon some city workers talking to a homeowner. I asked, since one of the men was wearing a bee suit, if the homeowner had discovered a swarm in his walls or something. "No," came the reply, "there's just a swarm up in the street tree. We'll spray liquid soap on it and that will take care of it." I expressed amazement, given that I knew how much a good swarm could go for on the market. Not, it turns out, in my hometown. We have loads of wild bees, all Africanized, so there isn't any particular rush to capture swarms. Why we should have so many when the rest of the world is short is a conundrum but at least it keeps my garden productive.

Another way to think of this is that butterflies also spread pollen and maybe a beautiful butterfly flits around gathering the 'pollen' from selected men and deposits it in selected bi-curious 'blossoms'?

One could explore male reluctance and 'fruitful' lesbians at the same time.

Makes one reconsider the whole "immaculate conception" idea . . . .

Welcome to the punchline

Makes me wonder what a 'maculate conception' would be like?

Bit like 'global warming', Nicotinoids are being singled out without sufficient scientific research. The jury is out.

The extraordinary extreme weather (dry,wet and cold) in N Europe over the last 2 years has devastated agribusiness - including honeybees. One of the European clients I know has lost millions of $$ this year junking spring/summer flowers that no-one wants to buy. No plants - no flowers - no pollination - no honeybees .

Does anyone know if bumblebees are suffering too?

Messy, I would hope

More than one daddy contributor?

The same kind that brought the rest of us into this world?

Messy, I would hope

There's that, too.

More than one daddy contributor?

An, the classic "daddy milkshake" idea.

I do so love how people make such generalizations without pointing out, first, what level of scientist they are (and so can make an reasoned judgement on this), and how much scientific research has been done and why it's not enough. But then I really don't want this thread derailed, so let's not bother getting into what would be sufficient research for you, personally.

However, your other statement here is needs to be addressed....

The extraordinary extreme weather (dry,wet and cold) in N Europe over the last 2 years has devastated agribusiness - including honeybees.

Honeybee populations have been dropping--in the U.S. and Europe, for a while now--since 2008. FIVE years, not two. Though we will grant that it's totally possible two years of bad weather, etc is making it all worse.

I don't know if there's any validity in the Nictinoids as I haven't done enough research on it myself; but I think you should do a little more reading before you dismiss or postulate any cause-effect for the decreasing bee population--and most especially before you say there hasn't been "sufficient research." Your comments suggests you may not really know how much has been done (dismissing five years of honeybee loss as caused by two years of bad weather), and whether or not it's been sufficient.

Have no shortage of bees at my place. Have a beekeeper on notice to come and try to get a hive out of the brickwork of our front porch now. Last year it was the wall of the garage. Don't want to hurt the little darlings; just want them hiving farther away from entry points to the house.

That fits with my first bunny.

The women on Planet X like the insects but don't want them swarming so close to their abodes, for fear they will be impregnated just getting to their personal transport pods!

Ah, a fresh expression for the sex act? Getting stung.

Yeah and they swell up something awful!

Does anyone know if bumblebees are suffering too?

The snag is that one has to take the risk in finding out, and that may be a step too far. Surely it's better to suspend use until more is known ?


Well, the Bumble-bees seem to be OK round here so far.
