And that doesn't count the other 7 directions! I don't think the bees around here are lacking.

We have lots of wild flowers for bees and even milkweed for monarchs. If insects were like livestock, we'd be rich. When we mow, you're constantly being hit by wayward grasshoppers.

15.5" long tailors scissors. I know the 13" version weigh 2#14oz. I think the 15.5" weigh closer to 3.5-4#.
