According to Reuters, millions of bees are fleeing bee hives and invariably stinging Taiwanese people. Although this is a bastard summary of the article, it maintains the point:
Millions of bee's are not pollinating roughly $15 billion dollars of crops, partly across Europe, and mostly Taiwan.
Albert Einstein once said that if the global "bee populations" were eradicated, then the world would literally come to an end.
How fucked up is that?
Were loosing lots of bee's (in the millions) making me slightly paranoid, and I figure it's about time to become a bee farmer...
I feel like that shroomed-out kid in the movie "Super Troopers": "I'm freakin' out man!"

The bees are dying because of genetically engineered crops (some of which, most notably a popular strand of corn, have built in genetically engineered insecticides), climate changes, and, some have speculated, cell phone signals that mess with the bee's natural homing mechanisms.
Aren't we all glad we decided to use science to start playing God!
Brilliant little monkeys we are.

What is happening is that the bees are now polinating Taiwanese people, NOT crops.
You should start farming the Taiwanese.
The market will be huge on bee-Taiwanese hybrids.
Beeanese or Taiwanbeese?
