I am so glad that our bees don't suffer from colony collapse disorder here in Australia. The work that these wonderful insects do for us for free could never be replicated by humans. I read somewhere that if we had to pollinate all the food crops in the world, it would cost us 10 times the global GDP per year to do it! Now that is food for thought.
I am always happy to read your comments, dear readers. However, I am trialling 'word verification' for a little while, as I have been receiving a lot of spam. The spam never makes it onto the comment pages, as I am moderating all comments. But it is starting to get tedious to moderate all the spam. I hope this will not cause any inconvenience to any of may regular readers. Please leave a comment - I am always happy to hear from you! :)
