We want them in the backyard, just not too close to the kids.<BR/>No food availability or cash with no value would definitely be a scary scenario--I guess then skills and food would be among the most valuable things to barter, and I hope everyone is working on acquiring both.

I have not been over here in a while, thanks to my slow Internet, but I see I have a lot to learn about food storage from you. :)<BR/><BR/>Like Chris, we've got lots of wild bees around here. It sure is a bummer to hear that many are dying out though. I love watching them climb way down into a big squash flower. :)<BR/><BR/>I love your (and your Mom's!) thrifty tips about food storage. Everyone should ask themselves: what would I do if the grocery store was empty? or they no longer accepted cash? <BR/><BR/>RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630929746033282061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-21204171900216555042008-06-28T10:42:00.000-06:002008-06-28T10:42:00.000-06:00We don't really see them around here, but they're ...We don't really see them around here, but they're out there, and I hope they stick around. I don't remember thinking about them much at all before there started to be a problem. They sure are necessary for food production, and the honey is an added bonus!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08264276199843769399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-45423308976833077942008-06-27T23:54:00.000-06:002008-06-27T23:54:00.000-06:00Marie, we are lucky enough to have plenty of honey...Marie, we are lucky enough to have plenty of honey bees here at our place. We don't keep a hive, they are just wild and a lot of them. We see them working the clover in the front yard all day long. Thank goodness for those little guys.<BR/><BR/>ChrisThe Scavengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14285656622244814026noreply@blogger.com
