Margaret's comments - this is not my listing... Contact agent above for questions. However, I did preview it. It is in need of repairs but has a lot of original details and good square footage. By the time you read this it has most likely it has sold. There are always good finds in the neighborhood you just need to be ready and waiting and when the time comes jump in!


Decimation of bee populations in the United States is gradually assuming catastrophic proportions. The consequences for agriculture and the economy could be enormous.

Possible causes:
1. Widespread practice in agriculture of spraying wildflowers with herbicides and practicing monoculture.
2. Controversial use of genetic engineering in agriculture. (large-scale use of genetically modified plants in the US could be a factor)
3. Bees lose their sense of orientation so they can no longer find their way back to their hives.
4. Some speculate that a particular toxin, some unfamiliar agent is killing the bees.
5. Recent proliferation of electromagnetic waves from the 2.5 billion+ cell phone users around the world. (Disrupts intercellular communication within individual bees, many of them cannot find their way back to the hive.)

"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."
- Albert Einstein
