    They are already in Kalifornia, so guess they are moving East. Meanwhile, the Brown Recluse spiders move WEST!

    We broke the bees. Be careful with your pesticide usage. Thank You.

    Every year, I see a new hybrid buzzing around. These hybrids don't live long and often don't even reproduce. Which is probably a good thing. I remember back in the day, seeing the honey bees flying over the fields of clover.

    Yellow Jerkits get bad in the Fall just before it starts to turn cold here. They are pretty aggressive about their food gathering that time of year, going after human refuse.
