Re: Time's running out!

Did you watch the video? I think it goes a long way to explaining why. Then there's the thing of bees travelling on flatbed trucks from one 'jobsite' to another. Imagine the stress. They are hard-working anyway.


I read something in a small book called "Nature's little wonders: Bees", that is associated with a poem about bees, but it struck me as deeply significant, in light of the bee
genocide that's been going on. It states:

According to custom, honeybees will swarm out of the hive
and vanish if they are not told of a death in the family and permitted to mourn.

this makes me sad. "a death in the family" has such levels of meaning. We are ALL the family--I can't understand why some 'get it', and so many are just blind to it.

That you enjoy such varied wildlife is a blessing.
