5/11/07, This past winter was bad, he said, because of the warm December. "Normally the bees go semi-dormant in November, but this year's warm weather caused them to stay more active," he said. "They wore themselves out --
they had a shorter life span. They consume more honey when it's warm, and they die of starvation later. There was no excess honey this spring when I cleaned the hives. Usually there is."

X-Files, The Movie: - Mulder and Scully find two huge domes, and go in one. They hear a suspicious humming, and Mulder yells, "Scully. . . RUN!" But he's a bit late as a lot of bees are released. They manage to get outside unhurt. However, a bee is hiding in Scully's jacket. Mulder and Scully are getting up-close when the bee decides to sting her. Mulder looks at the bee as Scully collapses. He tells the paramedics the bee may have been carrying a virus. And it certainly was. When he catches up with Scully, she's in an alien cryopod. If he hadn't got there an alien would have grown inside of her and then burst forth. Fortunately, Mulder has a VACCINE. He injects Scully, they escape. Back in D.C. Scully gives the body of the bee to an FBI hearing as evidence. Earlier Frohike had identified it as an Africanised honeybee.

Prior to becoming a state, Utah and a large region surrounding it were known as the territory of "Deseret." The word "Deseret" comes from the Book of Mormon, which states that the word means "honey bee" (Ether 2:3). When Utah became a state, the honey bee and the beehive were already in use as symbols of the region. Bees symbolized the industrious, hard-working nature of
the Latter-day Saints who settled in Utah. Although the Latter-day Saints were unsuccessful in petitioning the federal government to allow them to keep the name "Deseret" when the area was admitted to the Union as a state, they did manage to officially incorporate Latter-day Saint beliefs and values in other ways. The official motto of Utah" is "industry." As mentioned above, the official nickname of Utah is the "beehive state." A beehive is also shown on the Utah state flag.
The scene in which Scully tells Mulder that she has been assigned to work in Utah takes place just minutes after a major section of the film in which Mulder and Scully find a secret government bee research facility in Texas. Massive numbers of bees are being raised in giant beehive-shaped domes in the middle of corn fields. The government is experimenting with using the bees to delivery a kind of virus that is pivotal in the movie's plot. While inside one of the domes, bees are released and swarm around Scully and Mulder. They manage to escape the bees -- and the helicopters that chase them after they run outside. But apparently at least bee remained lodged in Scully's clothing. While Scully and Mulder are still at Mulder's apartment -- just minutes after she tells him about Utah -- a bee climbs out of a fold in Scully's jacket and stings her.

WAITING FOR NESARA: Filmed on location in Utah in the months between September 11th, 2001 and the start of the war in Iraq, WAITING FOR NESARA documents the true story of The Open Mind Forum, a messianic group of Salt Lake City ex-Mormons, and the radical faith that binds them together in the wake of 9/11. The group anxiously await the implementation of NESARA—a miraculous secret law hundreds of years in the making— that they believe was blocked and covered up by the Bush administration. The group believes that the 9/11 attacks were Bush's first attempt to delay NESARA's implementation, and that the Iraq war will be his second.Guided by constant internet updates from New Age gurus, the group believes NESARA will abolish the IRS, remove George Bush from office, expose him as a reptilian alien, distribute millions to the worthy few, and install a UFO-flying Jesus Christ as America's new leader.As the deadline for Bush's War on Iraq approaches, the group struggles to remain united, positive, and retain a sense of control—channeling all of their faith and prayers toward the desperate hope that the UFO allies will intervene in time to prevent it, ensure NESARA's implementation, and bring about a new golden age.

Homeland Security expert Flynn examines the vulnerability of the U.S. to disaster--natural and man-made--and what the nation must do to fortify its security. By exploring several well-documented and frightening scenarios, Flynn exposes our weaknesses and the consequences of our failure to adequately plan for disaster. Among the scenarios he explores: an avian flu outbreak in New York; destruction of a chemical plant in New Jersey; a San Francisco earthquake that compromises levees and leads to massive flooding. Flynn points to threats from our blithe disregard for the dangers all around us, including chemical plants and oil refineries operating in close proximity to crowded communities. We can't plan for every disaster, but the nation can be better prepared, Flynn maintains, and he offers advice on how corporations and the government can reduce the risk of disaster. Among his suggestions: making sure energy management and public-health systems have enough resources and building more power-transmission lines to keep lights on when temperatures rise. Flynn's book reads like a thriller but has the added punch of reality.

The sum of this complex tale is more than its parts of medical thriller, archeological fiction, action/adventure and doomsday scenario, as Long thrills with an intricate puzzle. A Greek collector of religious relics searching for artifacts from Christ's crucifixion sends samples of a powder dated to Year Zero to three foreign labs, thereby unwittingly unleashing a plague organism that races through the world's populations. Young archeologist Nathan Lee survives a murderous attack by his crooked professor, David Ochs, but lands in a Tibetan jail as the plague spreads. When the guards open the prison, Nathan makes his way through abandoned territories to Siberia and across to Alaska just ahead of the plague, heading for his daughter and divorced wife in D.C. He finds them gone and is mistaken by his old employer, the Smithsonian, as the messenger expected to take Year Zero bones from a Golgotha dig to the now fortified Los Alamos labs, where scientists are cloning humans who were crucified in the same time as Christ in hopes of finding an antibody from those who had natural resistance. Parlaying the bones for a spot in the restricted compound, Nathan is put in charge of the Golgotha clones by genius young scientist Miranda Abbot. She and Nathan become lovers and the nemeses of a mad scientist, who, along with Ochs, does fiendish things to clones and plague victims while disrupting the researchers. Long mounts one nearly impossible escape scene after another and doesn't miss a step as he builds a no-win scenario, then pulls it out. The shifting terrain is vibrantly portrayed, the religious fallout is deftly handled and the characters engage completely as they face a gruesome END TO CIVILIZATION in this dashing, exciting thriller.

"Nash was holding a copy of THE NEW YORK TIMES. Without addressing anyone in particular, he walked up to Hartley Rogers and some others and pointed to the story on the upper lefthand corner of the TIMES front page, the off-lede, as TIMES staffers call it.
