It reminds me, in a sense, of Gene Stratton-Porter's 1921 novel entitled: The Keeper of the Bees. After I read her book more than 10 years ago, I became fascinated in how to plant my own gardens to attract more bees, birds and butterflies. Now after reading your blog, I am even more interested to see what I might be able to do in my local community. I think that the suggestion to plant native prairie grasses/flowers along ditches and buffer strips is a wonderful idea. Sometimes these simple ideas that bring us back to the way God had intended our countryside to look-- are truly great solutions. Thank you. --M. F.
