- "It has been one of the great murder mysteries of the garden: what is killing off the honeybees? . . . A fungus tag-teaming with a virus have apparently interacted to cause the problem. . . . Exactly how that combination kills bees remains uncertain, the scientists said — a subject for the next round of research. But there are solid clues: both the virus and the fungus proliferate in cool, damp weather."--news story, New York Times, Oct. 7
- "Honeybees can adapt to minor changes in global warming, but Colony Collapse Disorder is the most recent bittersweet reminder that human society threatens honeybee habitats and breeding patterns on a global scale."--"Times Topic: Bees," New York Times website, undated
Ooh, I know! I know! - We humans must have invented the virus and bred the fungus and then kept temperatures cool and damp so it could be blamed on Anthropogenic Global Warming. We humans are fiendishly devious aren't we?
Or some of us are cretinously so, I dunno.
