Some light, patchy mist came and went in bright sunshine. A pair of geese flew over. I took to the edges of fields to exercise the new boots. While simultaneously avoiding the traffic. Traffic is hard to predict. I have been walking at different times without obvious variation. Commuting is still a national pastime.
It was sunny but cool all day.
Will somebody please explain? Farmers need their crops pollinated by bees. Farmers monopolize the countryside with intensive, industrial farming. This robs the bees of food and shelter from farmer's pesticides. Bees are a commodity. Why can't you buy them at agricultural outlets? Along with feed, seeds and pesticides?
Why do the farmer not have some duty to provide their own [pollinating] bee habitats? How difficult or expensive can it be? To use a small portion of their waste land for wildflower meadows? No upkeep required. Just an annual haircut and removal of the mown grass. They do that with their grain crops anyway. They can even sell the wild flower, seed saturated "crop" as a profitable commodity.
