Honey

When the farmers made a deal with the devil to kill off the bees, they weren’t thinking of the consequences because that’s how the devil made deals.  They were just thinking of those summery picnics with plenty of watermelon sliced and ready for the eating.  They didn’t want those bees buzzing around their watermelons.  They could buzz around their flowers and their crops and even their grilled meats but not around their sliced watermelon.  That is where any self-respecting farmer drew the line and so when the opportunity came to make a deal with the devil, they were ready.  And it was simple too.  The devil said to just spray their crops with as many pesticides as they could find and that the bees would die.  In retrospect, the farmers wondered if they really needed the devil to tell them how to kill off the bees but regardless, they were happy with the results even if it did cost them their souls.
