I understand~ that there is something mysterious killing off the honey bees ~and bees in general~
and billions are dropping dead across north america ~
What's going to happen ? How will the Almond Trees get pollinated ? ~ Let alone the fruit trees ~Where will we be at this point ?
Researchers are rushing to get answers to this terrible situation ~In the usa it will be a loss of about three billion if not more in the San Joacan valley in California~ alone~and thats just the tip of the iceburg~
I have noticed it here in the past couple of years also (In Canada) ~` There just arent any bees to speak of like there used to be ~
We have apple trees and cherry trees~
As many other people do as well ~ Years ago ~ I realized the importance of pollination ~ We has just moved into a little house in another location~ and there was a lady that had moved next door ~ from the farm~~
A fairly young woman at that time ~ *S* ~ I am sure that she had been taught the necessities and importance of pollination from her mother and father on the farm~ ~
When i saw her in the garden with a broom~ and using a sweeping motion over her garden going back and forth~ I thought YIKES~ especially~Using a BROOM~ I scratched my head and wondered *WHY*? what would she be doing using a broom in her garden ??? ~ *S* Well to my amazement ~ she had been taught that *If you wanted to grow large and healthy Pumpkins and squash~~ Use a broom to* pollinate them ~to be sure ~ they were done~
And Believe me ~ Her garden ~*in the fall*~ was abundant with ** Huge** Pumpkins and squash ~
That proved a point to me that *Pollination * is most necessary~ What will be do without the bees?
