I agree It is very frustrating to see such over use of pesticides, everywhere we turn! Glare

I saw a similar thing here a couple of years ago. One winter morning I went outside and there were spiderwebs blanketing over the leafless branches, bushes and across the ground. It was quite a site. I admit my first thought was, OMG spiders are taking over... but then my next thought was, actually that is food for the birds. As the sun came up, I again went outside and could no longer see the spider webs. Didn't see them the next morning, or ever again. Nature takes care of itself. If only people would let it.

Another short story, it was a few years ago back when emails were popular; someone sent me a picture that was being passed along . It was a picture of a BBQ pit that had been taken over by honey bees. Apparently whoever owned the bbq pit went to use it, discovered the bees and immediately went and got the bug spray to kill them all. Yes, the picture was of thousands of dead honey bees. I was so angry about that, it still sends shiveres through me to write about it here.

Okay, I'm mad again.

Happy story, anyone?
