It Was Bush! It Was Cellphones!
It was BP! It was those Tea Baggers! Yes, yes, especially them. All those cute little happy bees that sadly no longer buzzed around, happily, joyously pollinating flowers and honeysuckle and wheat and apple trees and lilac, ah sweet fragrant lilac…all sadly, horrifically eliminated because of Bush and his Rovian roamings amongst the evil, cunning yet oddly insanely schtupid Right Wing Death Beast crowd of AGW deniers.
Or not.
DENVER — It has been one of the great murder mysteries of the garden: what is killing off the honeybees?
Since 2006, 20 to 40 percent of the bee colonies in the United States alone have suffered “colony collapse.” Suspected culprits ranged from pesticides to genetically modified food.
Now, a unique partnership — of military scientists and entomologists — appears to have achieved a major breakthrough: identifying a new suspect, or two.
A fungus tag-teaming with a virus have apparently interacted to cause the problem, according to a paper by Army scientists in Maryland and bee experts in Montana in the online science journal PLoS One.
Damn you Gaia to a fiery Hell, you Rethuglican harlot!
