Republicans in Congress and a Butterfly Garden Report - Bees

Most Republican Congressmen and Senators

SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL (but SPEAK a lot of it)





This is not a picture of pathetic Congressman Jim Jordan who doesn't even own a jacket.  If he were younger, it might be Mitch McConnell or Lindsey Graham.  Whomever it is, he is listening to the results of Tuesday's elections in Kentucky and Virginia and and avoiding talking to his constituants who are getting wise to Trumpublican lies.

The Bee Crisis


While our Butterfly Garden is growing nicely, promising flourishing plants in the Spring, and caterpillars and cocoons (we are getting some right now), we also have a bee population which loves our Porterweed plants.  It's a fact that bee colonies throughout the nation have been decimated for reasons yet unknown.  This threatens the pollinization process of many plants, some crucial to agriculural production (such as the nation's entire crop of almonds!).   You can help the bees in their struggle by planting a Porterweek bush (try Home Depot, Lowe's or any garden store).  The bees will thank you and unless you bother them, they will not sting you.
