Cheers, Noel Taussig p.s. My cherry tree is not very happy with all the rain.Boo-hoo. -----Original Message----- From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of Marian Fulton & Art Harding Sent: July 13, 2009 11:24 AM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: RE: [NatureNS] lack of insects? No Junebugs observed this year June bugs were here early this year and I had never seen so many at one time. For several nights in a row the screens were covered with them. This was mid-to late May. Someone mentioned poor fruit set on their trees; our cherry trees are loaded with fruit and the pear tree is as well. All of this damp weather will probably ruin the cherries since they are now almost ready to be picked. -----Original Message----- From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of Mary Macaulay Sent: 13 July 2009 11:04 To: Nature Nova Scotia Subject: RE: [NatureNS] lack of insects? No Junebugs observed this year They are way down - even to the point where I'm wondering where the flies are on my compost bin in Halifax. No wasps, bees scarce. Haven't seen a single June bug in Halifax or at the cottage. It's eerie.
