BUSY LOAFING ABOUT

How busy are bees? To make a one-pound comb of honey, bees must collect nectar from about two million flowers (via http://www.arcamax.com)less than a minute ago via web Favorite Retweet ReplyBrownSquirrel

Rubbish!

"Bees" are busy? Try again. It's the hard-working taxpayer that's doing all the work! This nectar business of theirs is just a glorified hobby.

Bees only have all that free time to buzz about meadows, lounging on various flower blossoms, because of the generous unemployment benefits they're collecting from the government, which in turn has gotten its money by picking our pockets.

Oh, and the phrase "Welfare queen?" Let's be honest, people who use it mean "Welfare queen bee."

RIGHT YOU ARE!

If this isn't a metaphor for bees and their relationship with social services I don't know what is http://bit.ly/moTKCwless than a minute ago via Echofon Favorite Retweet ReplyLord Percy Percy

Indeed, the only image that better depicts the way those fat, freeloading bludgers leech off the welfare system — so they can lay about their hives all day fiddling with wax and vomiting — would be the picture of a lamprey's open mouth.

Anyone who claims there's so much as a single hard worker to be found in the insect kingdom is just spouting rubbish. Remember, just because I've said in the past that I respect locusts, that doesn't mean I think we should emulate them.
