There must be a better way.- After the tomatoes have finished flowering as the bees will not be visiting the tomato plants. I don't know whether this has spread to the antipodes, but the US, UK and other parts of western Europe are suffering from "colony collapse disorder' where huge numbers of honey bees are dying - partly due to some mite that infests the hives. Without bees the world's food sources would dry up in a few years. It is SO important to do nothing that kills bees and everything we gardeners can to provide them with lots of food sources, especially nectar-rich plants,to keep them going. -- Janet Conroy Re bees and colonies collapsing... I would bet that this is due to some chemical too. Recently frog populations were found to be dying "due to some herbicide" which leached into the water supplies, and its effectively killing tadpoles at rates of less the one part per trillion.. I don't know how they measured that, buts its clearly a small amount... De Santo with their roundup insecticide genetically modified wheat crops? Who knows, but I bet they don't do their homework till they have too, and probably too late....Corporations. They can live forever, and don't apply human laws as we know them. Only the laws concerning making money... |
