Slow blogging and bees

I haven't found a while lot to blog about recently so I'll be glad when parliament comes back but this article caught my eye.I wonder if some of the virus they talk about affect native bees as well,I see quite a few around my garden in the summer but then other people tell me they don't see many any more.Maybe the native types of bees are more resistant to some of these threats,it would be interested to know if any studies have been done on that topic.

Anyway while I haven't been doing much blogging I have been wasting lots of time online at these two addicting spots-Sylvester
Fish

Soldier letters

I found this in the globe and mail today and it is a cool idea,I will be following it to see what happens.

Sandmonkey is back

I am so happy the sandmonkey has started blogging again,his is my favourite blog and i really missed reading it.
