There is hope

Today, I walked my dog and observed many honey bees. I have not seen honey bees on my street for several years. Today
there were almost as many as before the bee blight. However, if our government had seen fit to kill all bees off to eliminate
the bee blight OR to eliminate Africanized bees, there might never have been any bees in my neighborhood again.
Maybe killing off all of any species to eliminate a problem is not the answer. Perhaps, "Live and Let Live" is a better
alternative. Maybe our bats should have the same opportunity to recover and build immunity to WNS as the honey bees
have had to build an immunity to whatever has been killing them off.
