bee question
"Billy Rose" wrote in message ... Hi Rachael, electromagnetic fields might have something to do with it, as might poisons in the fly bait but it doesn't explain (to me anyway) why the bees left in the hive have multiple infections. It's like the bees have AIDS. Even predators of bees won't attack the unguarded hive. I've tried to be more proactive this year by planting sweet alyssum to attract bees. Some people sat though that the bees will come if there are flowers for them so it may be a waste of time but they are kind of pretty, so what the heck. Besides the odor, I've heard that these livestock concentration camps can foul the ground water with their effluent. Don't want to make you paranoid but you may want to look into it. To you and yours, - Billy Coloribus gustibus non disputatum (mostly) Oh trust me, I already know about the water! Some days our water smells soo bad. I use bottled water for the baby's milk formula and don't use the house water for drinking straight from the tap. All water gets boiled before I make tea or anything like that. Thankfully, we don't have to deal with the air odors much - just when the loaded trucks go by the house during the moving times and then the odor only lasts a few minutes. But the flies from the houses are another story. Everytime the door is opened, 50 or so more come in the house, or the truck, or the van..........oh well - you get the picture................it's sure not pretty with all the flies. Back to you!
