Four More Years!?

No, not a chant for a reelection of a president. The time we have left on this Earth. Well, give or take ten years. Either way, if you haven’t heard, the honeybees in our world are beginning to disappear. Yes, disappear. Vanish. Hundreds of articles have been flying across the internet and news channels/papers about these MIA bees. Of course, an old faked quote of Albert Einstein has been popping up as well. Something along the lines that humanity has four more years to live once the bees are gone. Look this stuff up.

The honey bees that pollinize(sp?) fruits and other such things make up about a third of America’s dietary consumption. While that may not cripple us, it will definitely have some kind of effect on the world if bees were to suddenly become extinct. So I’m going to go out there 100% and call the end of mankind around 4 +/- 10 years after the extinction of bees. Place your bets!
