TELL THE EPA TO YANK THE PESTICIDE THAT'S KILLING BEES

There were virtually no bees in my yard last year. No wasps. No butterflies. No moths.

I don't use pesticides, but I have watched the diminishing numbers of insects, including bees every year.

Proof of this was my beautiful Confederate Rose. It's a shrubby tree that is now towering at the back of my yard. You can see its picture above. The flowers open in the morning, snow white.
By noon, they are pink. In the evening they are rose. When the cool weather came, it dropped its leaves.

There was ONE SEED POD ON THE TREE. One. Last year it was covered. It was a good year for flowers - it was covered with them. But none, except one was pollinated. The branches bend so I got a good look at what was going on inside the flowers. Nothing.

We are bombarded with chemtrails, as you've seen on this blog. Who knows really what the witch's brew in that stream is raining down on us, except that we know it's bad.

YOU THINK LAST YEAR'S OIL SPILL WAS BAD? WHAT ABOUT THE GMO GENE SPILL!

THE SUNFLOWER PROJECT - MONITORING THE BEES

http://www.greatsunflower.org/

This is something I want to try. I have seen...TWO (COUNT THEM - 2) HONEYBEES THIS YEAR.

There are no flower wasps, no moths, either nocturnal or diurnal, no micro moths, no orchard bees, few carpenter bees.

This is the time of migration for butterflies. In fact, by late October, most of the migrations are over for them. There was so much rain this year, we had growth but no flowers. The county mowers have scoured the roadsides. They should be at least knee deep to over my head and full of blooms. September should be a kaleidoscope in yellows, whites and orange. NOTHING is here for the butterflies or wasps.

The Monarchs should be coming. There is nothing for them. They had a bad time in Mexico last year.

The Gulf Fritillary should have arrived in late August to stay until late October, migrating in clouds.

The one shown above is the second one I've seen. And it is an older adult.

A friend who is a lifelong naturalist and ornithologist said there are simply NO pollinators this year.

How is it in your neck of the woods? Are they spraying? Do you have chem trails? Is your county mowing brutally? Got any theories? Do you have pollinators? Do you have GM crops near you?

Please leave some comments.

Three honeybees...

just three were nectaring in my pear tree the other day. I was happy to see them, but disappointed to see so few. Apiaries are having a hard time not only with Varroa mites, but this new and devastating problem called CCD (Colony Collapse Disorder).

The subject of Mason bees came up during a conversation last week. I've seen them in the wildflowers. They are larger than honeybees, shiny, black and bustled. The pollen clings to their bustles and they are first class pollinators.

My garden was nothing to be proud of last year. I'm going to encourage Mason bees to come and pollinate the tomatoes and herbs I plan to put in soon by putting up houses for them. It's not a difficult project at all...
