Keeping Up wih the HoneyBee Issues - 03/30/15 08:46 PM

We haven't discussed the plight of the honeybees here for quite awhile. And yet, here is where I really learned that there is a problem and its magnitude.

So I thought I'd post this link I found on Facebook. A street artist in London is trying to make people aware of the potential for Colony Collapse Disorder.

And I also want to mention the work being done by Cascadian Farms. Has anyone seen anything in the news about their planned wildflower seed drops? "Flower bombing, "they call it.

Here's a link to a video about the flower bombing campaign.

I hope it works!!

Well, WB plants hundreds of flowers every spring. So perhaps that'll help. The only thing I really know about Bees is that I don't want to get stung by one. I asked Dee to chime in here. She's the beekeeper person.

Thanks, I DO hope Dee will share her thoughts. I believe the situation has become worse since she first brought it to our attention here.
