Interesting. Not sure what to make of it. Here is video of what they were seeing. https://youtu.be/xShXEiTDG10

I'm sorry but my "bovine nutrient residue" detection meter is max'd out and off the scale.   :cheesy:

It seems the bee "event" was recorded by one person only, and was not reported on by NPR, BBC, CBS, or similar journalists who fact-check.

This report, on the other hand, I might believe: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-48911918

Except, of course, for the part that says water full of 45,000 barrels of bourbon and thousands of decomposing fish "is not dangerous to people."

I would find me a nice mint patch along the riverbank and be sucking that little KY  river up by the handfuls. Smallmouth sushi in a bourbon mint sauce
I see what your saying - I like how a newly composed ?berm? will solve any groundwater problems!!
