The latest bee colony report issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture describes a surprising increase in the number of colonies across the nation, with some states experiencing a particularly rapid expansion of their bee populations.

Good work Kathy:
I would like you to do a piece on my little community.
160 souls who live in a village where no one uses solar energy, no one recycled, and everyone uses more heat than they need because electricity is free. ( it is horrible).
But there is a story here. Find out how it changes people’s lives, and the community as a whole when people ‘pull together’ to start living more sustainably and caring for the earth.
I could be your reporter on the ground ( no charge) and keep you abreast of how these actual efforts to protect and sustain our environment could have real and positive social and economic impact!!
Hi Alice, Thanks for the offer. I have sent you an email to follow up.
