...i liked the planet better when the climate was static.  when was that exactly?

to bring this back on topic, given the 100million year old bee in amber:

...it's reasonable to assume that bees (probably before the "honey bee proper" came to be) survived the (probable) asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs.  i don't think a little climate change (or even a lot) will wipe them out.
