Okay, here's a new topic.  This year, for the first time in several years, I
saw honey bees in my gardens.  I hope that means that they're surviving the
onslaught of the mite that has been affecting them.

A couple of years ago, at some iris meeting, I was talking with a bee-keeper who indicated that some biological control (parasitic wasps?) was being used to good effect. I may be confusing the mechanism with the one used for our white fly, but he was optimistic at the time.

Gerry, over his head as usual.
