    Robert, eh? Who was he then? Albert's entomologist brother?

    I guess he had to attribute it to someone as there's no evidence that Einstein said anything of the sort, although it's often claimed he did.. :pac: I'm still trying to figure out why a physicist would make such a statement........ He was responsible for creating a far more effective way to wipe out humanity so I doubt that he was particularly worried about the extinction of bee..

    One serious consequence of bee extension would be no more crunchy nut cornflakes which could lead to riots in the streets.

    bee's pollinate 30% of the worlds crops so without them crop prices would increase and then increase food prices. If you pay more for your food odds are you would have less money in your pocket for your ipad or super dooper plasma tv

    Bats pollinate crops as much as bees do.

    Yeah but bats don't make honey. And bears eat honey. Almost said horny there, instead of honey.
