Carbon sucker punch
with chemical balm,
the bees are bummed,
dropping dead down.
It’s not just the honey,
there’ll be no fruit,
nature’s little cupid is caput,
the bee-eaters are thinning,
a global emergency is upon us now.

This paints a sad picture of the use of insecticides and harsh chemicals on the flowers and plants.

Yep, we definitely have fewer bees this spring, Paul. My dog finds them a tasty snack which is depressing for us. Not for him.

Ah yes, the candy treat, dogs do love that, yes I struggle with the fact that govt and commerce were warned about this and yet we’re still persisting with poisoning the globe. Boggles the mind. Thank you.
