Spring … it’s such a beautiful season. Your photo’s almost show how nature is waking up – love it. Here, we’re nearing winter (we had a hot summer) and I’m ready for another great season. Enjoy your spring πΈ.
π So good of you and nice to know MJ! I had promoted more consideration for the local botanical fauna and the Bees on some government property near my home so strenuously that I became known as the Bee Man to the government employees that maintain it. I have fought for the natural environment because we are part of it and if it is abused then we are too! πππ π
I decided just now to add a few older postings that point out the importance of our natural synergistic environment that we are part of which provides this opportunity to live! In one of these I had this to say!
We are here in this existence to be the servants and first we must realize we are to love and serve God, being completely humbled and ready to do His will; otherwise we are self-righteous arrogant fools who think they have a corner or handle on the universe and know what itβs all about, but do not know diddlysquat! Today with all of our High Technology far too many people are deluded and mesmerized by these tantalizing or titillating toys we have to think we now have achieved some greatness, when actually the opposite is true, we have brought humanity and life on earth closer to its demise, which is the Devilβs Dream!
Here I was pointing out this interconnection and interdependence of all life or for that matter all of this existence.
But as it all appears to definitely be based on systems and each as part of other systems all interconnecting while continuing to increase to higher levels of complexity. While even each system has its own operating laws, βdesigned to meet a goal or actual purpose why it was created.β Like I often say we individual humans have a goal to reach while alive in this limited form that can be achieved in a shorter or longer life span no problem; but then additionally we have an integral part to play in other systems or we can say lives too; affecting outcomes or positive decisions is the aim, not sin!
Here I had gotten actively involved in curtailing toxic chemical use in the environment and even how government property is maintained in order to try lessening the damage to the balance of the small plant and animal life.
Environmental Concern: Tell the EPA: Donβt Expand the Use of Bee-Killing Pesticides!
βBee populations are rapidly declining and neonic pesticides are a huge part of the blame. To make matters worse, Syngenta and Bayer, two big chemical corporations, are pushing Trumpβs EPA to consider a plan to allow even more bee-killing pesticides to be used on 165 million acres of crops.β
I live by an airport that recently expanded breaking down the many small microcosms within the many backyards within my neighborhood that were bought out and destroyed to open up a wider buffer zone for the airport. Then the open space was for a time allowed to have vegetative growth to a height that allowed wildflowers, clover and even milkweed to grow again as had been the case over the years, giving many bee populations uncontaminated wild growth areas to use as way-points in their daily travels, gathering nectar and pollinating. Then a decision by a few bureaucrats to cut everything to the ground meant that the entire area would now be void of any ecological benefits for the bees and other plant dependent animals that in turn help us humans have a healthier better life!
Glad to read you were so active in community re Bees. Yes, these things are challenging to maintain.
You might get another chance to restart it. All the best! π
Oh thank you MJ for your depth of honestly and insights that helped me to offer up what I could to hopefully make a difference!
If I can help any further don’t hesitate to let me know!π
God bless you and yours! οΈπππ
