Are mobile phones wiping out our bees?

With all this new technology.........why does it seem like we have less time in the day to do what we need to do???

I read a fascinating article many years ago that the author essentially said that he believed that the Devil was acting insidiously by driving us away from each other by the use of modern technology, by limiting our personal contact and creating a wedge between us. Creating a communication conundrum, as it were, by making us seem more close to our fellow humans but instead driving us apart.

I'm not sure that I buy into that scenario, but I must admit that it is interesting.

 

I don't like redbugs (chiggers). And dogass gnats drive me crazy but I have found a solution for them.

There are "Self-polinating" plants......I think the cucumber is one and tomatoes- don't know, and doubt, that we could develop varieties for every flowering plant; however, what about the honey?? That was my grandmother's favorite remedy when we were sick. That an epsom salt were here favs. :grin:

 

almost as good as a chuck jones singing and dancing bullfrog.

 

Looks like somebody decided to export them to Hawaii.
