Solution to the UK Bee Problem – Bee Protest in Westminster
The British Beekeepers Assocation (BBKA) held a protest outside of Downing Street yesterday to ask the government to invest more into finding out why the bees are dying off from a mystery disease.
BBKA, I support you to the fullest and here’s some help to further your cause. Now “bear” with me. In America where all things are perfect, we have this awesome poster child for forest fires known as “Smokey the Bear“. Smokey is an enormous, muscular nature-loving and kind-hearted bear who cares about wildlife. Don’t take him for a hippie or he will eat you. He stands tall, wears a Park Rangers hat with a cartoonish smile as he informs that you, and only YOU …. can put out forest fires.
What you need is to represent the bee population with an equally kick ass bear mascot. Bees make honey. Winnie the Pooh loves honey. Just look at him, isn’t he the cutest damn thing you’ve ever seen?
And if it doesn’t work, Pooh’s seemingly valium-induced personality will probably force you to stop caring about bees. If you’re hungry, just eat that little bastard Piglet and blame it on Eeyore. Nobody likes them, anyway.
