Bee day
Published May 24, 2008 / by Steve Berentson
It was a “bee day” party among our rhody bushes today as hundreds of bumblebees worked from blossom to blossom. No honey bees, though. Every spring, bees buzz back to Pocatello., Idaho. Last year, due to a mysterious plague, the honey bee population dramatically reduced. But Roger Porter, an Idaho bee expert, says the bee population will rebound this year.
About Steve Berentson
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
