Just a few days ago I noticed that the milkweed plants that were stripped bare earlier in the year, had grown and sprouted new leaves. And then, just a couple of days later I walked by and all the milkweed plants were nothing but a bunch of sticks coming out of the ground !

| Milkweed stripped down by hungry caterpillars |
Sticks with a multitude of hungry caterpillars chomping away. This is a good sign because it means we'll soon be seeing a bazillion new monarch butterflies on the Bee Farm. They are good pollinators and will work with our Honey Bees to keep the gardens well pollinated. Plus they're relaxing and entertaining to watch while they go along on their day to day business. Good Stuff.
