Nah, hang on to them.

*lame edit*
You could post them to those in need as a plan B...ee

Well isn't this thread the bee's knees. Buzz, buzz, buzz. All this bumble about an insect which pollenates flowering plants. Your signifigant others will not get as many roses. They want diamonds anyway.

I must say when I had seen this thread I dismissed it and did not even open it...yet after doing some research on Springtails ... and the possible reactions to humans from them lead me to some other things but one had me looking at this "superbug man made thing" which from there had some links or wonders if it had been affecting the bee populations...

Working in the communications industry myself I subscribe to Augusts theory or possibilites to the affects of bee navagation being affected by different fields and such I alos like the over spraying and build up of chemicals in the ground etc which may have caused this...

My son and I were wanting to send in some challenge to Myth Busters for them to work on so this I think is a great one to create some closed test site and see if creating different fields can interfere with navagition...good one August.

Back to my original search on Springtails was intresting to find they are one of the only insects to be able to break down some of those chemicals we are spraying...

"It's estimated that more than 80% of the organic matter on earth passes through the gut of a springtail or sow bug on its journey to becoming topsoil."

but ya if the bees go we wont have to worry about anything for long...
