So last weekend Megan and I had an awesome weekend full of activities. It started out with our usual trip to Stelle, Illinois (where we are moving to in June) where the first mission at hand was to put her new bees in their new home.
After placing their bees in their new home we had a lovely dinner and evening with some soon to be neighbors in Stelle, followed by a wonderful sleep…
Many causes – pests, diseases, changing climate – contribute to massive bee deaths, but the class of pesticide known as neonicotinoids (AKA, neonics) is the leading culprit in this crisis.
