Why do bees have sticky hair?
Wikipedia says this about this about the curious disappearance of bees, “The cause or causes of the syndrome are not yet fully understood, although many authorities attribute the problem to biotic factors such as Varroa mites and insect diseases (i.e., pathogens[7] including Nosema apis and Israel acute paralysis virus).[8][9] Other proposed causes include environmental change-related stresses,[10] malnutrition and pesticides (e.g. neonicotinoids such as imidacloprid), and migratory beekeeping. More speculative possibilities have included both cell phone radiation and genetically modified (GM) crops with pest control characteristics,[11][12] though experts say no evidence exists for either assertion.”
Because they use a comb-over.
CCD – is a term used to refer to the collapse, or dissapperance rather, of honey bees.
CCD = Colony Collapse Disorder

When this was first brought to my attention in 2006 I was immediately concerned. I continued my life and still do to some degree as if it no big deal even though it is a huge deal. While most people focused their attention on the war in Iraq, or global warming in 2006(both very important issues of which I DO care about): I focused my attention on the bees. Oh, the buzzing little bees. For longest time while I was in Arkansas I saw no affect of this so-called CCD. Since my travels to brought me to California I have observed countless cases of CCD. Often I see these honey bees buzzing in disorientation. Sometimes they are so confused they cannot even fly. Numerous honeybees do I find dead on the ground dead. My heart goes out to them knowing that this cannot be their destiny.
Bees bring harmony and honey to world.
My message today is simple: bees are beautiful creations of God – and God loves the bees. Most ALL OF THE TIME, bees are not out to bite you. They are out just buzzing around trying to find nectar or accomplish whatever task they are on. Please do not swat them, kill them for any reason whatsoever. By killing even a bee you are not helping the cause. Now if you find yourself or children or clients or customers in danger of a bee hive – again do NOT buy raid or hire pest control; rather, call a bee expert who can safely remove the hive. For those of you who are allergic to bees and react negative to them remember this – THEY ARE NOT OUT TO BITE YOU I ASSURE YOU! Just be normal and most likely the bee will not bite you. However, if you swat (aka attack first) you are more likely to be bitten had you just ignored the bee. What do you call a bee that can never make up its mind?
A may-bee.
