Or just let all the cedars die. The deer will then die back, and other more opportunistic trees will take over. Then the deer will come back, and all the new trees will die off again. You see such an oscillation in most small habitats. There's a very famous such oscillation between moose and wolves on Isle Royale in Lake Superior.

So, what are YOU doing to protect the bumble-girls? Point, and lesson, is that the WASTEFUL American Way is unsustainable! That includes skydiving! Maybe we all need to take up BASE instead, making a PHYSICAL effort to get our asses to altitude.
Nature has a very effective way of fighting back all the abuses.

QuoteThis is some serious shit. If those little girls (worker bees are all female, the males just sit on their asses until the Queen Bee kicks them out of the hive) don't get the pollenating done, the food chain could pretty well collapse. These are FARMERS who are worried, their CROPS are in danger (you know, the stuff we eat ?).
unsure if exploding deer is a bigger problem than bees disappearing??
Bees are honey producers as well as indispensable actors in the pollinisation of flowers and plants. Bees are an element in the interactive ecosystem chain. The bee’s role is very important in the various life cycles of different species. Without bees, there would be no honey, but more importantly, certain plants would not be able to reproduce and would thus become extinct. In turn, this would lead to the disappearance of certain animal species...
Deer are prolific reproducers,
unlike deer populations wolf populations have been decimated by human activity. So are deer part of a terrorist plot or is human activity???
The Queen Charlotte Islands B.C. Canada..are one of the richest biological and cultural areas in North America. This remote archipelago provides unparalleled wilderness. Theories suggest that parts of the Islands escaped the last ice age, forming a glacial refuge for certain forms of plant and animal life. At least 39 plant and animal species have been identified that are specific to this region and found nowhere else in the world. This explains presence of plant species, and noticeably different sub-species of bird, fish and mammal.
The Queen Charlotte Islands provide a remarkable evolutionary showcase - thus, their description as the “Canadian Galapagos”. The black bear is the largest black bear in the world. Through isolation from their mainland cousins these black bears have developed a larger lower jaw because of frequent foraging and feeding along the shoreline.
Black-tailed deer and raccoons are introduced species to the islands, ecologically they are both causing problems. Without natural predators, their populations are expanding to the detriment of other species. Bird colonies are seriously at risk to raccoons. The cedar tree is disappearing from the over browsing of the deer- so hunt the deer??
