When you say that the cicadas are to appear, are you thinking the locusts? Are you thinking in Biblical terms or am I reading too much into your comment?

that I couldn’t look it up but would remember before anyone on Free Republic answered

The real challenge comes when you are asked to research something and cannot use the internet.

The Cicadas appeared in our area either 1990 or 1991 . I think it was around those dates . Cicadas destroy full grown trees & etc ... Alot of people in our area aren’t opening swimming pools because of the cicadas . If you go to wikiepedia I think they do state cicadas our locusts too . I was thinking somewhat in biblical terms that alot has been happening lately ....

"a lot has been happening lately ...."

Yes it has and I'm always thinking in "biblical" terms when I see them. The bees, the frogs, the hurricanes, tsunamis, what we see on our television, music, terrorist, aids, plagues, famine. All of it is building, and like labor pains, they are getting closer and closer together.

Another odd thing I heard of recently (I may have mentioned this before) is that ants, who have always only had one queen, are now found to have 2 or 3 per colony. The same is true of yellow jackets and they are both spreading like wild.

God works through nature and nature is really perking today. We need to pay attention to the signs He gives us. That is why I really appreciate your pinging me with the information you find.

Your friend.......Ping

We’ve noticed a lot of bees in our bird bath this spring. This is a first for us since we came to Alabama in 1989. Maybe bees have found a sweet home in Alabama.

A good point to note is that “healthy” bees always have the correct level of phernomes in their honey. It can be predicted when a hive will get mites by levels of “chemicals” in the honey. It is theorized by some that mites are a result not a cause.

This is an oversimplification but it drives schools or research.

So far I’ve read cell phones and satellite radio disturb the bees ability to navigate. Plus there could be changes in the Earth’s magnetic field that causes the same problem.

There is so much money tied up in cell phones and radio I seriously doubt anybody will do anything until the last bee.
