There must be a natural hive near my land, as there is a veritable army of honeybees that buzz around everywhere working in the clover flowers. Bumblebees, butterflies, and all sorts of other insects are also at task with the clover. I never so quickly became accustomed to honeybees buzzing all around me, and bumblebees coming up to me to see what I was before I bought this place. It's quite amazing. I'm pleased at the level of honeybees, as they will help me out once I have my fruit trees.

nature does adapt (not always to our liking, of course)

That's what I'm afraid of! I'm glad that pollenating insects are doing well in your area. I believe that many areas of the UK have been affected by the recent increases in the amount of wet weather which causes bees to remain in their hives for longer. This puts them under increased stress and makes them more prone to infections and parasites. It's been really wet in my area recently: great for slugs and snails (which love to munch on my plants), not so great for pollenators.

I suppose I'll just have to adapt too, and cultivate a liking for escargots. :)
