  Thanks Patomarazul, it's that I like them a lot. I would like all of us to realize that we are going to lose something essential if they continue to disappear... Posted 6 years ago

    I completely agree with you. I can see in Belgium every year the progressive decline of butterflies and I find it really sad. I wish they would stop using herbicides but of course is a complex situation.
    I try to help the bumblebees by placing bee hotels in my terrace and they have been used this past year. We can also help by adding wild flowers if we have a garden or terrace patch. Posted 6 years ago
