Bees

My concern is that we are ignoring major events in nature ( die offs) and there are signs coming from many directions. The bees concern me deeply. Since i was a child , bees fascinated me- their colonies , their co operation and of course how they play one of the most integral parts of nature- propagating food and flowers. What sustains us and what nourishes. My husband would think this concern was "feminine" - subtext? not worth much attention.

Mysterious 'creature' spotted in UK port

NineMSN reports that a strange creature was photographed by satellite, and visible on Google Earth, swimming in the Albert dock in Merseyside, near Liverpool, England. I must contact the local marine biologist - the image appears to show some sort of sea creature with a curved body, pointed snout and pectoral fins on either side of its body. Speculation is it might be a shark, but it's unusual for tropical island sharks to be found in this area.

India crop damage

Shashikant Trivedi / Bhopal January 21, 2011

Amid reports that pigeon-pea or tur is the worst weather-hit crop this rabi season, the output for the season is likely to be revised downwards as 80-90 per cent damage has happened in the case of gram (chana) in some pockets like Malwa belt.

The state government did not make any arrangements for the farmers to protect their other bumper crop this year from the recent odd weather...
