The case of the missing bees



Eek! The drones are leaving! No, we are not talking about the migrant labor in our farms and slaughterhouses. There has been epidemic of missing honeybee colonies in North America. If it continues we are looking at huge reduction in crop yields for lack of pollination. Are there honey futures I can buy?

But we don't have to worry: Monsanto will feed us with new and improved crops that don't need pollination. So we will be fat and happy and continue to be lulled into complacency by Anna Nicole Smith and Paris Hilton and American Idol. Somebody would come up with synthetic honey, and we wouldn't even know there was a crisis.

lol. Good one man. Didnt know you had so much farming spirit in you.. Driving 30 miles to get organinc chicken, growing your veggies, whole foods etc etc..

Plus you are really keeping up with the current news.

Hey that font use used inside the cartoons isnt very appealing. There are a lot of free fonts available on the web, find a cartoon type font. Also you need to use some kind of antialiasing to the fonts. Look at the font edges they are jagged. My two cents.. :-)

I think it is just in my nature to seek out things to complain about. You are right about the fonts. Pam said she didn't like the writing, either. I may tweak it sometime to make it more legible.
