I live in a good rural growing area in the Pacific Northwest. Surrounded by bee keepers, so there are lots of bees. Vegetables grew this year, although they have been stunted (for the past few years). The yield has been less for the past couple of years, but still managed to harvest all that I planted. The 2024 frost in winter killed all soft fruit tree buds (cherry, peach) and grapes. The rain that falls actually has very little moisture, just like the snow in winter...filled with their concoctions of poison. My biggest enemy this year was either voles or rats, eating my potatoes, tomatoes and carrots, they even chewed up a mammoth jalapeno!

The community rallied around and had a 5G tower installation thwarted, so I believe that helped the bees stay alive. Dumb asses thought they could get that one past us...hell no.

I’m in central Europe and I start having problems growing cucumbers about eight years ago. Prior to that I had so many cucumbers, I was able to make a very tasty pickles that would last until the following summer.

I have not been able to do that in eight years. The cucumber plants were the first ones that started having trouble and I knew something was going on.

They started mass, spraying us here about four years ago, and they continue to do it, even now in the fall all day and all night

I can no longer grow strawberries, tomatoes, pumpkins, broccoli

I stopped planting a garden two summers ago because it was just ridiculous. We get tons of rain and then we get lots of mold, we have no sunshine. And then add to the fact all the chemicals coming from the sky food is poisoned.

I’ve noticed a bit of a decline of bees, but I’ve noticed was how aggressive bees and wasps are becoming now

This summer, I was out in the garden and bees were attacking each other mid air fighting in a ball and landing on the ground to continue fighting. And the wasps are doing the same with each other too. I felt it was too unsafe to continue to sit outside because I didn’t want to get stung so I went back inside.

And I was shocked because I have never seen these creatures attack each other!
