It's a Tough Time for Bees

 

Just ask the bees!

 Bees are now using forms of communal transportation (trucks) to get to work. They are getting trucked to pollinate the plants that we depend on for food. (Leaders: for more background info, click here to read Beeline to Extinction")

Bees on BoardMore and more evidence is pointing to pesticide as the culprit in this mystery. Pesticides aren't so good for us and the other "Good Guy" creatures in our gardens either. Why not find some other way to get rid of unwanted guests in our homes and gardens?

The National Coalition for Alternatives to Pesticides have plenty of suggestions. Check out their Pest Solutions page. They have solutions for lots of different pests.

 Before you go, think about who may be considered the biggest pest in your garden! YOU may be the biggest pest!
