Saw something on the news here this morning. They lost most of the bees here in Florida last fall, so they are thinking it may happen again this fall. They're bracing themselves.

CRAP!!! Hopefully the bees will have built a system defense for whatever is attacking them....altho that hasn't happened as yet!
Meanwhile...I thought my grocery store was jacking the price in anticipation of a labor dispute!

Timm,
The bee problem ain't Bush's fault, but I'm thinkin' it has something to do with
their immune systems (kinda like aids -hiv) but on an entomological level.
Food prices are going nuts, but it looks like the increases in fuel costs are being passed on, for what makes the tractors go, or the big rigs that deliver it to the stores. Labor disputes...down the line (when salaries don't come close to puttin' food on the table). Milk? Butter? Ice cream?
Oh my!
btw...the farmers ain't getting rich either.
