B E E C R I S I S!!Yes, that "association" we love to hate - the one with the ACORN membership numbers - remember, we said we're sure Mickey Mouse is a member - the deceased Walt Disney as well - is now in a "Special Series" - reporting:
Editor’s note: Staff Writer Clarissa Kell-Holland searches for answers from OOIDA member David Hackenberg of Lewisburg, PA, who is credited with discovering colony collapse disorder or CCD, a mystery that is decimating bee hives worldwide."
Holy *Apis mellifera Linnaeus!
Are these OOIDA people insane? Hey, I love bees and honey - especially on my fried chicken - the honey not the bees - but take this "report" somewhere else. OOIDA apparently doesn't have enough time on its hands. Next they're going to have Dave Sweeney do an interview with a honey bee. It would certainly be a lot more interesting than anything else he's done recently. Let's get a few bees on with that boring Evan Lockridge show. Forget about the real issues, let's report on the plight of the freak'n bees.
You know what OOIDA is? It's a sham. Four days from one of the most important elections of our time and they're doing a story on bees? The two lead items on their web site are about "speed limiters" in Canada. WHO CARES? Next item a "quickie" on "trucking" failures and then in bold - the SPECIAL SERIES - BEE CRISIS.
Don't be shocked the next time a bee flies in your cab and it has a little black OOIDA jacket on. How many honey bees are there in the world - billions? Trillions? Well, watch that ACORN OOIDA membership number go up to reflect their new "buzzing" members.
