Pretty common, I guess. My friend down the street is a beekeeper, and keeps hives in his back yard. Fascinating.

He replaces his bees about once every three years. The hive moves on once it grows to the point where they think they are going to need more space.

He says he can pretty much call when they’ll bail now - the bee boxes he keeps reach about 60% full. Rather than buy new boxes, he watches them bail, then buys a new queen.

I don’t know about bees, but I only saw a few butterflies last Summer. Too many lawn chemicals? My lawn is made mostly of green weeds.

A bee keeper I know said mites are a big problem. He fixes that by putting menthol cough drops in the hives. Bees eat the drops for the sugar and the menthol kills the mites. Was he pulling my leg?

I haven’t seen a monarch butterfly in 20 years. Something has killed them off. There’s a smaller yellow one that stops in the garden for a few days each year but it isn’t here long either.

Environmentalists hate people. They also hate capitalism. They are not truly environmentalists, just communists.
