Conspiracy theory (an occasional thread...)

Right, over the last year or so there's been much talk about the mysterious collapse of bee colonies all over Europe and North America. Was it the verrua mite, was it GM plants, loss of natural habit...?

And then, all of a sudden, there's a spate of posts by distressed football watchers complaining about the noise of mad bees drowning out the World Cup games.

Coincidence? Or have the bees all been rounded up and sent to South Africa?

    Did you know that "Africanus" is latin for Beehive ?

    Food for thought.......

    I'm sure that there'll be a sting in the tail to this story, it'll probably be buzzing around the Net for ages, in which case Marmoset will have earned his stripes as a conspiracy theorist.

    Yes, it's the Scottish Bagpipe...

    To Bee, or not to Bee - that is the question.
