Re: [ATFE2] OT: Cure For Honey Bee Colony Collapse?
Hey Butch and Liz,
Last year we had our share of honeybees, especially by my lavender
plants. This year, though, it really is surprising to see the numbers
we are getting. We don't get swarms, like Butch, but I counted 5
within a few minutes, on a hot Sunday last week. Not bad.
I always enjoy seeing these busy workers. Unlike the wasps we also
get, or the juicy moths that I chase out of the house with a broom,
the bees don't pay any attention to us at all. They're just fun to
watch and listen to.
Have you guys seen the project to count local bee populations? You
sign up, they send you seeds for a certain sunflower plant. Then you
grow them, and sit and count bees, and report back. More info at
their website:

Cheers,
