Did you discuss your suspicions with the nursery and the actions you decided to take to protect the bees? How are those hives doing now?

My sister's neighbor, an elderly woman, was backing her car out of her driveway. Whatever happened, the car suddenly accelerated backwards (people heard a revving engine sound coming from behind the house) and she went across her back lawn and into a lake.

My understanding is that the action alerted the OnStar people and they were able to talk to her but the car sank and the woman died before she could be pulled out. I have always wondered what affect it had on the OnStar person who was talking/listening to the elderly lady that day.

EDIT: Do the police ask you for tape recordings of those kind of calls?

I live in a large University town and there are frequently ads on craigslist's Jobs section under 'part-time' or 'etc.' for research participants. I know someone who just made $400 participating in one study that I told them about. It's for their research projects so they have to handle everything on the up and up.

Supporting Reddit has been the only reason I haven't used Adblock.

After yesterday, I am not feeling so gracious.

EDIT: done - just installed Adblock.

What if you shared with your sibs what you learned today about bees loving chlorinated water and they picked your pool as their drinking spot? Would that make them less freaked out or are they too worried about getting stung to think it's cool?
