Now Europe is looking into risks to humans from those same pesticides that are wiping out some bees:

Too bad our country doesn't do something about this also! The other day, some bees showed up here and were using the hummingbird feeder. So I put out some old fruit pieces and a small saucer of sugar water away from that area. And then I moved the feeder, so the hummingbird could still use its feeder. Sure enough, the bees found the new food source and moved over!

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
