Bees on the intercooler/in the hood scoop:
I go mental when a single wasp/bee flies into my home, I would probably need psych treatment if I found my car like that

"Zoom Zoom Zoom"? More like "Bzzz Bzzz Bzzz".
Peter Pollen Ford? That's one of the saddest puns i've ever seen.

Nope - while bees are extremely interesting I am not dedicated to the topic enough to set a news alert! Dennis emailed me the story and pics.

Do bee colonies often take over cars?
Yup, once those Zombie Bees get inside there will be no more 40 kph speed limits.
“These bees exhibited zombie-like symptoms if you think of your classic zombie movie — moving slowly in circles looking for brains essentially,” says Nanaimo beekeeper Sarah Wallbank, who discovered the first parasitized honey bees, or zombie bees, in Canada.

Urban beekeeping has been touted as a way to boost pollination and improve sustainability, food security and biodiversity in cities. Many people and businesses who've added beehives to their backyards and rooftops (including CBC) say they're doing it to help fight declines in bee populations.
But researchers say urban beekeepers are likely doing just the opposite when it comes to wild bee species.
The only bee species kept in beehives is the European honeybee, which is "a non-native species that's essentially livestock managed by people," said Charlotte De Keyzer, a Toronto bee researcher and founder of the site bee-washing.com, which fights misinformation about bees.
"So it's a bit like saying that you're going to save the birds of Canada by keeping chickens in your backyard."

Hives are also difficult to maintain. It’s not as easy as just putting up a nice structure from a kit and saving the world, you need to know what you’re doing and you need to invest a lot of time and effort to keep your bee population healthy. If you don’t get it right, you’ll lose the hive.

You don’t need bees anymore: https://www.amazon.c...2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
If everybody just pollinated for 15 minutes a day that will make a real difference.

Actually on my agenda for today is to pollinate my zucchini flowers with a paintbrush as the bees don't seem to be interested in coming up to my balcony. So I'll be doing my part today Todd.
