A world without bees #1 (permalink) Fri Jan 09, 2009 21:10 pm   A world without bees
 

Bees are important not just for food crops but for the whole ecosystem. Without bees, we can not have the food on our table. BBC global news further says that, the bee population is decreasing in many different parts of the world - a phenomenon they call as CCD - Colony Collapse Disorder. The reason being - the use of pesticides and absence of diversity in crops.

1) It's "cannot" -- one word.

2) Bees are polinators of plants (first) and providers of honey (second). Thirdly, bees are part of the food web.

Without bees, probably a large number of plants will become extinct, we won't have honey for our tables ( or our pitchers -- Muslims can't drink the fruit of wheat, beer.. nor the fruit of the grape, wine... but they can drink the fruit of honey, meed... or mead? whatever...), and we'll forever lose the ability to enjoy the buzz of their activities.

There are myriad reasons why bees are important.

Man, it must be the beer AND wine (LOL) I've consumed... but what is a "the"?

Did I miss your point? Ahh, you fixed it -- never mind.

But this is something I got from the "13th Warrior" movie -- is it true that a follower of Islam can drink neither beer nor wine... but that there is no such prohibition against meed/mead?

I think it's "mead". What am I doing? Dear Lord...
