[Ezteq]

Hi guys, another animal related pettition from me to you.

This time in aid of the humble bee, please sign and help the lil guys

Most helpful friends need HELP!!!

There is one species of insect that is paramount to our survival, being a key link in the production of 1 out of every 4 mouths full of food, the BEE is in trouble and is dying out at an unprecedented rate. Please follow the link below, to sign a petition demanding that properly funded research is applied to the plight of our most helpful friends.

Petition to: fund scientific research into maintaining UK Bee stocks.

No way.

Bees are vile creatures, and nature will find another way to spread that pollen and other stuff they do, so off with their heads!

Not to mention they ain't animals.

 

[swords]

I know a few people working on bee viruses, I think thats the current theory as to why they are dying off, but it could be any number of factors...
Oh and should this continue in the states at current rate expect the price of a packet of cereal to skyrocket in the next five years...

Not to mention they ain't animals.

misery guts, no honey for j00 sir!


oh and technically any living thing that isn't a plant is an animal...some people don't believe fish and insects are animals but they are...they aint mammels but they is animamals!


ty to those who signed up btw i'm sure the bees would thank you too.

Always had a soft spot for bees since they die after stinging. And whenever anyone complains its like, "oh no you have a sting for 2 hours? yea? well its dead...."

Also we used to have HUGE lavender plants in our garden with at least 50-100 bees buzzing round them in summer, never once did one even come that close to me. They just seemed content with the flowers.

Edit: wasps on the other hand, fuck em. Ruin every meal outside and seem to want to do nothing BUT piss you off. Gimme a bumbly any day...

[Olgaline]

ez is right on this one,

biology splits living organisms into two major catagories, Plants and animals and it's definded by "cell structure"

I have to borrow Kyles wise words, from the conspiracy theory episode on Southpark and say:

Really?

[swords]

What about the bacteria? the fungi? Archaea? Single-cellist bastids! :touch:
Oh and Toht should read up on Carl Linnaeus

 

[Levin]

I would sign, but I wasn't allowed.. not being a UK citizen. As if bees cared for nationality.
