i mention something yesterday at work ,something about bees disapperaing and quite few conservative(they say they are) automaticlly say it a liberal myth and doubt it`s true .

my question is do conservative(which I am) have a tendency to not believe any negative situation with the enviroment and pawn it off as a liberal nonesense?

I'm not a conservative (nor a liberal), but most farmers and orchardists that I know are a bit on the conservative side (though not all, I hate painting with a broad brush), and they are the ones worried about the bees.  Most of the big apple orchards in Eastern Washington are really worried about this, and Eastern Washington as a whole is pretty conservative.

My guess is that the conservatives at your work aren't informed as to the problem.
If they are informed, it doesn't make much sense.  Why would a conservative farmer be worried about something that a conservative from the city says doesn't exist?

well farmer should be worried about it.
but the average city slicker conservative(which I`m not) that I observed seem to turn a blind eye to it.
but than i suspect in general peoplle do not really understand how important bees actually are.
I`ll bet some folks will just say have the farmers do(pollinate) it by hand without the bees.
I got that idea from talking about how important tractors or plowhorse are
people actually say doing it manually is just as good.
stupid

They shouldn't, if they're intelligent
