Dying bats puzzle scientists

Bats are good - they are keep insect population in check.

Well good. Let the bats die, then they'll stop eating the honeybees.

Maybe you missed science class but bats are nocturnal and honeybees are not.

Maybe you need to get your sarcasm metre checked.

It's the new end of the world and it's 100% more fearmongering than last week's end of the world.

Quick, blame it on global warming! That'll get the population frothing!

this is serious shit... with no honey, we may not get certain flavours of premium ice cream anymore......

Which means it's that much easier to eat the bees if they're all asleep. :laugh:

See all those bud ashes laying around? Yeah, that's probably part of the problem.

Exactly, because nature's problems are never any of our concern, since we don't need it for anything.

question, we have artificial flavors for damn near everything, can't we just make fake honey and cut out the damn bees? I don't even like Honey that much, and when they sting me I really don't like them at all

Sure, as long as we have artificial <name a fruit or vegetable that owes its very existance to pollination by honey bees>

We had a honeybee hive growing unusually close to the ground (about 5 feet or so) near our house. Now it's laying on the ground absolutely covered in dead bees . They must have died the other night when we had an untimely freeze. Either that or it's the bats.

If it were the bats, there would be no evidence.
