No bees, no food
So today, I spent the whole day out in the garden. The sun was shining and it was perfect t-shirt weather. The birds were in and about to the feeders and back to the several birdhouses in the yard. But with all that outdoor wonderfulness the was an eerie, strange silence...... I didn't see not even one [bee.](http://www.globalresearch.ca/death-and-extinction-of-the-bees/5375684]
Glyphosate, nicotinoids, GMOs, Bayer, Monsanto, and more...
I hope everyone that goes out to garden this summer realizes that the toxic chemicals they use may end up destroying us all.
Most people seem to never give it a second thought. What's on the food? What's on the yard where the children and animals play? What's in the water and air? I hope more people figure it out.
I can't agree more. It is imperative that those questions become part of everyday life. Thank you for your comment.
scary.. neonics
I agree.
Hello @marymg2014 Here is the story your post inspired me to write and I finally figured out how to add photos. Thanks for prompting the memory. I mention your post.

We've got a bunch of alive & healthy bees on the lavender plants out here in San Diego; there are a few left. :) Have you seen this?
Thanks for sharing that is certainly and interesting way to send the message that the bees need help.
Sure! Saw that a while ago and it's always stayed with us. Hey, have you seen Bee Girl? Pretty neat lady working hard on behalf of bees. http://www.beegirl.org/
No I have not, THANKS FOR SHARING!
Inciteful message, how do we encourage more to protect bees?
Share your concerns with your neighbors when you are outside and warn then that products like Roundup and GMO foods are directly to blame for the mess we are in. Monsanto is destroying our planet.
I'm a "newbee" beekeeper and this is a picture of my empty hive on my back porch. It should bee humming this time of year.

Hmm.. can't seem to copy the picture. Sorry, use your imagination, I'll try to figure out and tell you one of my beekeeping stories later.
Anyhow, upvoted and following
