What’s Happening to the Honeybees?

They are disappearing. Colony Collapse Disorder is a term coined in 2006 as catch phrase for a disturbing, unexplained phenomenon that caused nearly a quarter of U.S. honeybee colonies to disappear within a few months. Read an article posted on the Safelawns.Org site for more information on this issue and the heated debate between chemical producers and bee keepers. View Here.

The Lost Lady Bug Project!

Cornell is looking for Lady Bugs! Be a ladybug spotter in 2009! Over the past twenty years several native ladybug species that were once very common have become extremely rare. Over 700 identifiable ladybug images from over 40 species were submitted for 2008 (including the three rarest species) and we hope to see 10 times that many in 2009. Visit The Lost Lady Bug Project homepage today to find out how you and your children can help!
