Honeybees and humanity?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Kat:

Hi Roy,

I agree with you, I think that there is a terrible overuse of chemicals by gardeners, but especially by commercial growers.  And yes people do not want to face this truth, because growing organic means you have to allow some crop damage from bugs and not get the maximum production, not exceptable for the commercial growers.  It seems so many are willing to sacrifice the future for the immediate results and I believe it's a terrible price that is being paid.  Honey bee die offs is just one of the undeniable things that this overuse is causing.  Another is the growing dead zone in the oceans at the mouth of rivers, caused by chemical runoff.

I do not let these thing disturb me so much any more, as I know this is a part of His plan and how it must be for now.

mercy, peace and love

Roy,
You may be pleased to know that here in Eastern WA (Airway Heights), we still have many lady bugs. I see at least 4 or 5 a day when I am outside. I have always thought they were so cute  :). The only thing I use on my garden is fertilizer. I haven't used any kind of spray to keep the bugs down.

Roy Martin:
Yes Kat you are right. We can't let these things worry us. A reason for everything.
 I never thought I would see so many changes and destruction in this life time. Times change, but the world remains the same, or at least for now.

Peace
Roy

One of the things we can do is support our local organic farmers.  In Florida we have a nursery that sells lady bugs.  I just saw this the other day passing by.  In the area that I am living people are very up on organic foods and  eating raw foods.  Florida has two growing seasons but the soil isn't as rich in nutrients. as the good black dirt of the Midwest.
The reforms of our country will be grass-rooted movements, as usual, don't expect much from the government.
