HEY! And BTW, I didn't realize, it's Rob's Birthday on the 16th, what a coincidence, which makes him a LEO! Wow! Here's a blurb about Leos: "This fixed sign is known for its ambition and determination, but above all, Leos are celebrated for their remarkable bravery. In tarot, Leo is represented by the “strength” card, which depicts the divine expression of physical, mental, and emotional fortitude. Fearless optimists who refuse to accept failure, Leos will find their deep wells of courage grow as they mature." Fits Rob well. ;-) Please wish Rob a wonderful and Happy Birthday! Bring presents, songs, well wishes. ;-)

Day Zero: Taps about to run dry in South African city --COULD BE CALIFORNIA SOON!!!
|
Four years ago, Cape Town was facing the threat of Day Zero — the day when the water was expected to run out. That never came to pass because people saved water and the rains came. Now, another city has the same problem.

Want to 'save the bees'? Skip the honeybee hives and grow native plants
Ecologist Sheila Colla has developed an impressive skill. Picture a Where’s Waldo puzzle book, but instead of combing the crowd for someone wearing a striped shirt, she homes in on pollinators.

I sent a sample down a month ago and my hive was loaded with mites -- in December! Please share results with Rob,Tom and the BeeGroup so we can help keep tabs on what is happening in the 'hood. Thanks! CLICK HERE for details on how to submit a sample.
