For several years, the demise of our precious Honey Bee has been quite obvious. Thankfully however, I'm seeing them more and more each year, now. This one was seen harvesting nectar from one of its favorite plants, White Clover, which can be seen in the picture.
White Clover was attacked by homeowners obsessed with the desire for monoculture lawns which came into vogue a few decades ago. Unfortunately this creates lawns devoid of the necessary plant diversity needed to support a healthy ecosystem. Of course, the exponential increased use of pesticides and herbicides is a huge contributing factor to the demise of many animal species. Comments | Permalink

Robyn Curry writes that a young male dog has "decided to try and move in our place. He seems timid, no collar but it looks as if he did have one on at one time. He hasn't been neutered. We would like to get him back to his home or find him a new home. He is located on Freedom Church Road off of Hwy. 80 between Columbia and Russell Springs." 270-634-7611 Comments | Permalink
