Poor little bvggers have the odds against them
1) the varroa mite (not yet here in the south of the planet)
2) climate change
3) pesticides
considering that bees are a necessity to produce food for us humans, you'd think we had better plans by now - then again, we think we're the smartest thing on the planet, and that's plainly not true

Considering that the bees are responsible for a significant portion of the pollination of many plants, a bee die-off would precede a large plant die-off as well.

yeah - that's sorta what I meant by "bees are a necessity to produce food for us humans", but, looking at your comment, it goes further than us humans

2 years to go and only 10% complete.
I see trouble ahead.
Every four years the worlds greatest athletes descend upon one country to compete for the ultimate prize.
Then, two years later there is an Olympic Games.

This happens at nearly every event. I remember the stories that England might step in to host the 2010 WC as South Africa were way behind schedule (England already having enough stadiums with the required capacity). I think there were more about the Brazil WC this year.
The 2016 Olympics will definitely take place in Rio.

I'm sure the marketing b'tards from hell good people of Brazil will come up with something 'ethnic' to psii of the rest of the World and give the home team a double advantage.

It's "who's" and "whose" I still to this day struggle with. A sort of who's whose of difficult words if you will.
But at least I can spell 'lose' whereas 90% of the internet seem to write 'loose'.

The apostrophe means its a contraction of 'who is'. The other is of course the sort of possessive thingy, so 'the man whose hair is brown'
Not to be confused with other possessive form: 'John's hair is brown'
English is a mess, that's for sure, I don't blame anyone for getting it wrong.
