25,000 more diseased trees had to be destroyed in County Down again recently. They were of course from imported saplings, As we said before it is time for us to be producing our own trees from seedlings. Very easy to do and would employ some local people in the process.
As we pointed out in Issue 4, our honey bees are vanishing at an alarming rate. Bees have been around forever and they are crucial for pollination: crucial for our food production. Perhaps the G8 people have discussed this and have come up with a strategy for dealing with this environmental travesty. If not, it will be left up to small independent bee keepers like County Antrim’s Jimmy Cousley to facilitate their survival.
