It breaks my heart too.😢

I once wanted to be an entomologist…..

On a happy note- Here in SE Pa., we have bees everywhere this year. The wild Rhododendrons have bloomed spectacularly with all the rain we’ve had.
we sit and watch 4-5 honey bees + bumblebees on nearly every cluster of flowers- working until sunset.
The sound as they work is just magnificent!

I am heartened by the way nature bounced back with less human activity during Covid.

🙏 for Mother Earth.
