But back to your original "point" minus your schoolyard insults, trying to equate a truck crash that involved bees with global warming is the definition of illogical thinking on your part, but hey, providing facts never have been your strongest talent have they, JBird.

Bee keepers only take a portion of the honey, enough is left for the hive to survive through the winter months.

If you can't tell I'm playing the "global warming causes everything" game as that's what it's become. [MOD CUT]

beehives on a flatbed....not a natural place for them don't ya think?

that's because those bees are part of a man made colony and not wild. Wild bees are in decline but thanks to bee farmers, the decline has been offset a little

I get it. You now understand that it is impossible to effectively dispute the fact of global warning based on the evidence so you've switched to the technique of distorting and misrepresenting the positions of those who disagree with you, hoping that your distortions are easier to disprove than the truth.

Thanks for being so forthright about this.

Actually, even bees being kept by bee farmers are disappearing and they do not know the reasons yet. It should concern us all when species begin to disappear for no known reason, for often when one species dissappears others will follow, we are no different from any other species in that respect. In fact if you look at how many people are being born with illnesses that were thought part of the past and gone it is alarming. Something may very well be in play and we should at least try to identify the causes and if possible do what we can to correct it.
