the other night
we were discussing a news article about bees becoming less common and the potential for them disappearing entirely

someone asked the question "what would a world without bees be like?"

to which my friend Stacey replied "it would e loody awful"

I was the only one who found it funny. opinions?

less bees
means more wasps. they are mortal enemies and have been fighting secretly for eons using tiny ickle guns and minorpowers over who has control of the skies and the Dahlias, until a time when the great vibration will come and either bee or wasp will triumph for all eternity.

Plants are pollinated
by insects other than bees, though. And also by the wind.

Anyway, cows don't need to be pollinated, so the steak supply's good for a while.

PS - I laughed at the joke, which was after all where this started!

I am amused
I clicked 'I like this!' even though it will serve no purpose.

Made me giggle

and if we lack natural pollination, we can send out the workshy dole scroungers with big feather dusters to do it instead!
