Question by Big River: The Humble Honey Bee?
Are you aware of the plight of the Honey Bee, sorry, let me rephrase that, are you aware of the plight of mankind?
The amount of Bee’s in the world, escpecially Europe is decreasing year upon year.
The continuation of this trend will provoke mass food shortages and possible starvation for many of us who take our food supplies for granted.
Of all the creatures in the world, The honey bee is probably one of the most important. This is not a joke, it is a serious threat to our future way of life.
Will you take the time to do a little research on the internet about the plight of the Bee’s and help raise awareness of this looming disaster?
Here’s the first link to get you started

Grow up you numpty, if you knew anything about me you would reaise that calling me “Liberal” could not be furthr from the truth.
Instead of using situations to spout off about subjects of which you know nothing, stick to such subjects as the xfactor or the latest pop songs.
Can you help? Leave your own answer in the comments!
I am aware that we take notice when it hits us.
The plight of the decline of insects has been known for several decades.
We notice when there is a shortage of honey.

Yes I had heard about it, it’s very worrying. Thanks for the link, but for anyone who can’t afford to be tempted to spend all day on it, here’s another one:

Yes I am, but there seems little we can do about it at present. It’s quite scary in a sci-fi movie kind of way; but for real.
