I too get infuriated about being the only person within at least a 3 mile radius (that I know of) that lets her "lawn" be a "mow whatever grows" kind of operation, and I plant native plants that the bees love. The result is kind of a homegrown/redneck hodgepodge of plants but I love it this way - I'm sure that the manicured/chemical lawn people can't stand me. I live in an area where people's eyes still glaze over when I talk about bees or I still get the "ew! BEES?!" reaction, so frustrating.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-42886017181500650222011-04-18T21:14:59.739-04:002011-04-18T21:14:59.739-04:00Amen, sister.Amen, sister.melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12252897236597700469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-11017513801008918352011-04-18T19:37:40.757-04:002011-04-18T19:37:40.757-04:00AaaaaMen!

You are so right about the dandelions and clover...what are they hurting? Vanity, errrrr...really?!

Our bees have to make it on wild flowers that Nature provides or the limited amount of crops we beekeepers can plant specifically for our bees. I can't believe the number of hives your beekeeping friend lost! We lost three of our five hives over winter.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
