Interesting, i don't see many worms any more. They used to be all over when it rained. i guess we can thank monsanto and round up for that.

We have worms here in the country, and the red wigglers are sometimes in large numbers. Maybe the cities don't have them much because there is little soil, and the rats eat worms, so maybe that is part of the difference.

I am rural, though not country. Even in the city there used to be worms. i think we bug sprayed them away like we are doing with the bees.

I was thinking that recently. It could also be other chemicals or a mix.
So much in road materials, pollution, we won't know, I suppose.

Maybe the earthworms are angry. They are hermaphrodites and they are proud of it. now people are pretending that they are both sexes in one body, one sex in physical existence, and the other as a mental condition. the earthworms know that is a lie, so they are leaving the cities and going out to the country where they can be the only hermaphrodites around.

M.O. as much this is going to sound like a criticism, did you know that the bee that everyone is concerned about is an import. Also, there remains, plenty of other bee species to pollinate other than the European variety, in fact, 400 species.

I would think you would love that ;-), more fuel for your sexual fantasies; speaking of mental conditions.
Once again you don't have a freaking clue of what you speak, too bad that won't shut you up.
I bet you feel very superior in your pretense that transgendered people are mentally ill.
Pride cometh...and I bet when you fall it will be difficult to get back up.

Apparently the bees have been infected with a virus, not a weed killer. We have planted many bee attractant flowers in a number of different places all over our property and it helps with them. Many bees come to the hummingbirds feeders, and I wonder if that may be a way to spread the virus. Hate to stop feeding the humming birds though. We get up to 20 at any one time. We do sterilize the feeders routinely though. the earthworms are here and here the skunks and wood chucks eat them. We do compost and there are large numbers of worms in the pile. The castings from the worms make great fertilizer for the orchids we have though, and the Christmas and Easter cactus do well on the worm tea also.

I really don't know much about he varieties of bees. I have seen bumble bees, honey bees, hornets, wasps, dirt daublers,they look like bees.

I just heard a blurb on NPR about a resurgence... not for those worms, though.

Earthworms are different. they are really both sexes in each worm, and are fertile in each sex they can therefore breed themselves if necessary. that is for emergency purposes only as that concentrates the genes, not adding any new genetics.'
Humans are not hermaphrodite however, those few who have mosaics that cause them to be indeterminate are not fertile in either sex. Big difference. Many of the original researchers in sex change therapy now believe that believing you are not the sex that your genetics, brain and bone structure say you are is part of a mental condition that can be solved by treating the depression that is behind it. It is NOT a third sex no matter what you may have been led to believe.

Whatever, take your BS to an area where you can start your own thread and spread your misinformation.

We were talking the worms and the bees, not the birds and the bees.
