We still have some wild bees that apparently haven't interbred yet.
We were all sharing the same leaky water hose this summer and
no one objected. However, we also have some that I believe have
requeened with killer bee queens. When they swarm, I usually like
to go observe them. They have a

Hi Hugh,
Hope you enjoy Hawaii, it's on my must visit list. I'm the gal doing
everything, so it's me that everything is sent to. Next week I was sending out
the directions to the location for the conference, but if you want them
sooner,

You might want to get here Friday
I have sprayed 501 once and used 508 a couple of times in the past year,
but never done sequential spraying of all the preps. Should I wait
until next year to do the Three Kings spraying?
Best,

Wow! Thanks for your note earlier, Merla! I was all geared up to
spray 3 Kings today, hence
Coffee is considered self pollinating, however, field observations and studies have shown that bees increase cherry set. This interaction is well known.
But, in Hawaii, our coffee is pollinated by NON KILLER bees. So I still find it upsetting to have another introduced species take over a

One way to get all the preps on the land is the way you've planned:
make your own BD 500 and BC, make your own BD prepped compost, wait until
it's all ready, then spray. THEN your intentions are manifested, the ground
is enlivened, the Nature Spirits are happily fed, and you can apply the

Mine had to have come from a direct seed source. I never had them
until about 5 years ago. At that time I was raising some exotic
finches and other birds. I'd moved the cages to a row run shed

Dear Hugh L.,
I had been waiting to see if you would comment on the efficacy/validity of
the prill-water as in Richards message below.
Based on the Prill chemical explanation is it convincing enough to you?
Would you recommend it? Or do you now have more recent info on the Japanese

Hi! Christiane.
In the natural order of things, in countries like Oz, nettles grow on land,
over manured by sheep, cows, horses etc, not native animals. They tend to grow
around sheep yards and the drains of milking sheds etc. They are deep rooted
and bring useful minerals from the lower levels
