In Bloom Today, 15 May 2015: Multiflora Rose, hosting bug 2015-05-16 - Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener. A bug or is it a bee doing a bit of pollinating at a multi-flora rose in Columbia, Sat 16 May 2015. Pretty good sign, maybe even though the now multi-maligned multi-flora rose is not so welcome anymore, and herbicides are used to brown them out the way utility companies and the road departments have turned narrow strips of otherwise green as Ireland into mini deserts. Seeing the bee/bug was, on the other hand, a good sign after hearing on the Public Radio that as many as 40% of bees had died off from the harsh winter and/or pesticides. And after hearing a friend give up on keeping bees in his part of Adair County because of the herbicide drift onto his place, and another give up on grapes for the same reason. There's farming and there's farming - and the two just may not be compatible. And why does gummint always over equalize the good and the bad. Spend money on advertising for tourists and on the other hand, spend MORE money on shortcut uglification which turns tourists away? Can't figure it out. - ED Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
