Please read this. It is so very important that all of us do what we can to save the bees. 🙂
“We once grew food without chemicals.
We Never grew food without BEES.”
~ Elise BC ~
“In addition to gathering nectar to produce honey, honey bees perform a vital second function – pollination, making them a critical component of today’s agricultural market. In fact, about one-third of the human diet is derived from insect-pollinated plants, and honey bees are responsible for 80 percent of this pollination….
Without the honey bees’ pollination work, the quantity and quality of many crops would be reduced and some would not yield at all. According to a 2000 Cornell University study, the increased yield and quality of agricultural crops as a result of honey bee pollination is valued at more than $14.6 billion per year. And although other insects can pollinate plants, honey bees are premier pollinators because they are available throughout the growing season and pollinate a wide range of crops.”

I recall many dust storms when we first moved to Colorado where homes were built on prairie land. Once developments were settled, however, the dust storms were not as close. We had plenty of tumbleweeds.

And off topic: do you have a garden in which you grow vegetables and herbs? It seemed to be a struggle to dig the soil. We managed some tomatoes and spinach that I recall. I suppose raised beds with potting soil might have been easier but we didn’t have them. After Colorado, I tried my hand at gardening in Virginia where I could plant on Feb. 1 and still have tomatoes and peppers on Dec. 1.

Oh I tried early on but finally gave up because the bugs are so bad here. Now I do have some blackberry vines but the birds get most of them which I’m okay with because my yard is an established habitat so I provide for the needs of wildlife. 😊❤

That soil in the West is something else. I like your idea of a habitat as well.
