Couldn't sleep at all last night: Heat made me turn on
the ceiling fan and the noise from that kept me imagining
there were little creatures from outer space creeping

about the disappearance of the bee before going to bed
... all night long I kept mulling over this nightmare scenario
where our bees were being abducted by little creatures
from outer space (after they had, naturally, gone through
all their own planet's fierce beasts) to be used in their
bizarre rite of passage from "boy"to "warrior" (in which
each "boy" had to engage in a fight to the death with a
"fierce creature" from another planet (our bee). I "watched"
a couple of the fight, and they were pretty horrifying.

Otherwise, since this is a world-wide phenomenon, there
must be a world-wide cause. And the only thing I can
think of off the top on my head happening world-wide
right now is the shifting of the earth' magnetic field(s).

Whatever the cause turns out to be, the mystery is truly
upsetting on many human levels. Reminds one of just how
fragile our existence on this planet really is.

Don't have a lot of them but they are here, with assorted bumble bees
and wasps, working the violets. Hope the cucurbits flower while they are
still around.

Just keep plenty of assorted flowers blooming. Here, they even go nuts
over the marigolds. A butterfly bush is also a main attraction because it
flowers until frost.


I have plenty of flowers, but have mainly been seeing honey bees on the
grass heads. Go figure.
