Land Of This Guy

The biggest thing I’m seeing in the environment is the loss of food sources for all of the pollinators, including bees. It’s the downed trees, the ruined fields and the wind damage. Like this whole field out here was full of goldenrods and asters and other beautiful fall wildflowers, and it’s all just been blown away. Fall is already a nectar-scarce time of year, and the storm was immediately followed by our first frost, so it really was a triple whammy.
