Animal Ovation: Bee Keeper

http://animalovation.blogspot.com/2010/09/bee-keeper.html

Tales from a nature and animal lover. Monday, September 6, 2010. Because of the recent decline in the honeybee population. My husband was worried that they might sting someone, but we seldom use the front door. I know all of the bees will die once the cold weather sets in, but I'm not sure if the queen will remain in the nest. We should seal it up in the fall, but I'm concerned we might be trapping the queen inside. Any suggestions? September 6, 2010 at 11:45 AM. September 6, 2010 at 12:10 PM. Heres $20 ...

Animal Ovation: Timber!

http://animalovation.blogspot.com/2010/06/timber.html

Tales from a nature and animal lover. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. The town recently cut down a tree on my neighbour's front lawn because of root damage. Only in the past few years had the 20-year-old elm stretched its limbs far enough to provide a wonderful canopy of shade. Kind of sad, but residential trees live a very precarious existence, their lives hinging on the whims of humans. Well of course I did. Hooray for no nests! Boo for losing another majestic tree.

Animal Ovation: May 2010

http://animalovation.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Tales from a nature and animal lover. Monday, May 17, 2010. I might call the OSPCA because they do take in wildlife, but considering what's been happening there lately, they might be a little too busy (more on that in a later post, but you can read a bit about it in the May 2010 posts on my other blog. When I went out to take this photo (click to enlarge), I frightened him, and he flew into the cedar hedge, then bounced off. At least he's able to fly now, so perhaps he just needs some time to rest. Tea f...

Animal Ovation: Fixing A Hole Where The Rain Gets In

http://animalovation.blogspot.com/2010/06/fixing-hole-where-rain-gets-in.html

Tales from a nature and animal lover. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Fixing A Hole Where The Rain Gets In. There seems to be a lot of ants around. Last year, they'd made a home in the mailbox. Love that song.). Ants loved living beneath my pavers, too. I think they preferred the sand. But squatters in the compost? Hey, they knew it was temporary when they moved in. June 23, 2010 at 11:29 AM. If we lifted our pavers or interlock, Im sure wed see a wonderful maze of ant tunnels. June 23, 2010 at 11:47 AM. Ink i...

Animal Ovation: Garden Favourites

http://animalovation.blogspot.com/2010/08/garden-favourites.html

Tales from a nature and animal lover. Sunday, August 22, 2010. My cat, Meeko, likes going into the yard, but always ends up eating grass, which she promptly vomits once she's back in the house. That would be okay if my carpets were green. Last year, I had to pull hundreds of my beautiful pink rose campions - they'd seeded everywhere and threatened to overtake the garden. But I see that many seeds have sprouted, so I'll be able to enjoy them again next year. August 23, 2010 at 11:14 AM. Thanks, Georgie, I...

Animal Ovation: Knowing Your A Bee C's

http://animalovation.blogspot.com/2007/10/bee-c.html

Tales from a nature and animal lover. Monday, October 29, 2007. Knowing Your A Bee C's. Honeybees go about their business collecting nectar and, inadvertently, pollinating the many plants they visit. They've been doing it for thousands of years and will continue on for thousands more. Last night, Nature (PBS) took veiwers on one of its more frightening rides. The series, "Silence of the Bees". Grow flowers and herbs that attract bees:. Basil, Borage, Catnip, Cornflower, Dill, Echinacea, Evening Primrose,...

Animal Ovation: August 2010

http://animalovation.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Tales from a nature and animal lover. Sunday, August 29, 2010. Just When You Least Expect It . Today, armed and ready with my broom, I finally spot the spider, smack-dab in the middle of his handiwork. By the time I return with my camera, he's taken refuge under the handrail. He's huge, so big that I'm not even sure you have to click on the photo to enlarge:. I've emailed the photo to my daughter and husband, warning them about the hidden danger (and treasure) in our own backyard. Links to this post.
