This connects all the dots. I have a 1/2 acre strawberry patch that produced virtually no crop last year. As I tried to determine the issue to no avail I realized I saw very few pollinators during my growing season. I then discovered that chemtrails scare them away. Note: autocorrect refused to spell out the word. 🤔

Thank you, Lee Zeldin for starting somewhere.

My yard is carpeted with dandelions and small purple flowers, as it is every year, but this year there are NO bees. I have a couple of wasps attempting to build a nest in my chicken coop, which I always leave in peace, and once they recognize me they leave me alone. But the lack of bees is extremely concerning.

Same thing with our coop, but ours look like honeybees (neighbor has honeybees). They've been in twice the past couple weeks and leave at night. First year where the coop has had bees in it. Strange...

I wonder if your neighbors bees are looking for a new home.

Same here in SWMO. I’ve got a big, fragrant bush that is in full bloom. It normally hums with bees. Just a couple of lonely butterflies this year. 😕😮

Oh, that's really disheartening, QH. I hope they arrive soon.
