Second chance to delete! Speaking of pollination: The CDC announced that it has discovered a new viral infection that affects honeybees. The virus attacks the inner ear of the bee, causing it to stagger in its flight. When the bee attempts to land on a blossom, it misses and hits the petal instead. This violent contact with the plant results in the transfer of the virus from the bee to the plant. Once the plant is infected, it soon withers and dies. The CDC has named this virus "The Blight of the Fumble Bee" Rockin' Randy wrote: > I always enjoy pollinating difficult blossoms - whether it be > artificially or naturally! .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:.
