A new breed of bee, maybe?

So by now everyone should have seen numerous articles about the Honeybees, they haven’t had a good couple years lately. They have endured Colony Collapse, the possibility of death from cell phones or the towers or even the risk of pesticides. Now with all that said I think they will adapt and survive, as we all do – well maybe not the dinosaurs. Hard to come back from a giant meteor I guess.

So its great to hear that we have a newly discovered bee in New York and even better is that it doesn’t sting.  “Urban Buzz: A New Bee That Sips Sweat” by ROBERT LEE HOTZ

Earth Day – ProBest Pest Management

Just a few shots of the activities that took place this year at Earth Day at the Chandler Environmental Center at Veterans Oasis Park

Chandler, Arizona

See, even Giraffe’s don’t like spiders….Hahahah

I couldn’t help but pass this along, I’m not awfully fond of spiders and just seeing this was funny. So we all have phobia’s – so we need to avoid those things or put up with them. Your choice. Read a previous blog on Phobia’s and fears…

The Bio of Dr. Bug, Owner of ProBest Pest Management

If you have a bug problem and you are looking for someone who can solve it, please read on…

Keith V. Birkemeyer aka Dr. Bug has been in the business of pest management for over 20 years. His interest in bugs began at an early age when he delighted(?) his parents with an infestation of Praying Mantis. He had brought some egg cases in from the cold one winter in Ohio and when they hatched there were baby Praying Mantis everywhere. Keith’s formal training began in Florida, a state well known for a hearty bug population, especially termites. He continued his career with a chemical manufacturing company as a Technical Specialist.

Keith has traveled the world speaking to various groups about bugs, termites and comprehensive pest management. He is an Associate Certified Entomologist and he shares stories and facts daily on his blog http://www.callprobest.com/blog. He is the owner of ProBest Pest Management which has been named a “Quality Pro” company and awarded the “Mark of Excellence in Pest Management” by the National Pest Management Association. Keith may be a grown kid at heart and his company allows him to pursue his passion. No one knows bugs like Keith does.

Ducklings in the pool, oh nooooooo…

First off, did you know ducklings can swim – I mean underwater and they are good at it? Mom must have set up a nest in the enclosed backyard (block wall) and then the ducklings became trapped. My plan was full-proof, catch the mother and then the ducklings – that didn’t work as I had planned it. Mom was way faster that me, period. Then to plan B, set large animal trap with ducklings inside within a box and hope mother duck comes to the rescue. No go on this one either, we finally had to move the ducklings to Liberty Wildlife where a surrogate mother duck took over.

Can ducklings live in a pool? All the data I see  is no. First, there are no fish, plants…and second, chlorine is toxic, even for us, so more so for birds.
