It is about time this message seeped through to legislators and state officials. The current loss of insect populations is serious and will have consequences to the general public as well as those concerned about the environment.

Native squash bees will keep that amish farmer from having to hand pollinate. We have many little zucchinni and butternut squash growing nicely in the garden. It is more than a matter of pesticides, though that is a major concern. With the native bees, habitat is very important. The squash bees nest in the ground near the plants and next years bees will increase populations if an effort is made to leave space and not disturb.

This law is only a small step, but it's good to see that recognition of a problem with our pollinators is getting some attention. Hopefully this will lead to stronger more effective legislation.
