  • Bee Die-Off Threatens Agriculture and Food Supply
    David warns that honeybee die-offs, driven by habitat loss, pesticides, and diseases, could devastate crops like almonds, citrus, and berries. "Honeybees contribute to one-third of our fresh food supply." As indicator species, their decline signals broader environmental issues, impacting over 200,000 pollinating species. A thriving ecosystem is crucial for human survival.
  • Carpenter Bees: Friend or Foe? Expert Weighs In
    David explains that carpenter bees rarely sting and are vital pollinators. Look for half-inch holes in wood as signs of nests. While they don't eat wood, they can cause decay. David suggests using essential oils like citrus and peppermint to deter them naturally. He advises calling pest control only as a last resort, prioritizing eco-friendly solutions.
  • Bee Swarms on Cars: Understanding the Phenomenon
    David explains, "Bee swarms occur when a hive outgrows its location or a new queen emerges." Cars offer a stable, open way station, attracting bees due to their height, color, warmth, and smells. Swarms typically stay for one to three days. Beekeepers can safely relocate them by identifying the queen and moving the swarm to a hive box.
