This is not good...always stressed with my kids that bees will not harm you unless they are under threat, leave them alone and they'll leave you alone. Wasps on the other hand will sting you just out of spite...now it appears the bees have changed their tune. Unfortunate, especially when we are trying to promote wherever possible to BEE friendly to our pollinators.

These are two completely different scenarios that are being merged together to just sensationalize the shark issues. The tourist who died at Rose Island may very well have been a spin off victim to some extent of sharks being fed and attracted into certain areas. The Abaco attack was someone actively spearfishing. Anyone who has ever spearfished knows the inherent risks of the sharks, and barracuda's for that matter, and conducts themselves appropriately while in and under the water spearing your catch. Let's not jump the Abaco attack into the mix with the Rose Island attack.

Blue Lagoon has ZERO interactions with sharks or shark feeding.

You have a higher risk of death due to complications from injuries falling out of your bed.

Rumors going around social media just now that Stuart Cove's has a new charter concept running out of the harbor and does baited shark dives in the vicinity of Rose Island. May be completely false, but that is what is circulating at the moment.

50% chance...what an idiotic statement. Guess I am beating the odds as I have swum with sharks hundreds of times. As stated in the article, assuming there are no added circumstances, such as fish cleaning, spearing, chumming of waters, etc, the sharks in these waters will recognize you are not their food group and leave you alone. Get blood in that water though and the game and odds most definitely change and NOT in your favour.

Price controlling fresh produce is the most daft idea they have ever come up. Produce prices fluctuate like crazy depending on crops and seasons. Add into that the overhead you need to compensate for spoilage and write offs of the produce...just can't be done with price control.

Price controlled fresh produce and highly perishable items is VERY risky. All too often the local retailer of that produce have massive loses due to product spoilage, and it is the margins they have at the moment that allow that fresh produce to remain on the table as a viable import. If you lock down percentage markups on those items, many retailers will just stop selling the fresh produce altogether and I don't think that is the desired end result behind this initiative.

...and this surprises people?

Not to worry...once NHI gets going, that nice cooshy medical insurance plan you have at the moment disappears and you need to depend on the guvment dem for ya health!
