Nature normally manages to sort itself out just fine, it's often when we want to hurry things along a little that things seem to get confused.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

OH, words of wisdom, and so true. :)
Alan, thank you for linking shallotmans post, I wouldn't have found it without the link.
Shallotman, interesting about the bacteria too, lichen can also survive a space journey, and fungi paved the way for other plants and life to colonise earth.
Curiosity and good powers of observation on the part of the beekeeper Ron Hoskins,,who seems to have a true passion for beekeeping, kind of underlines my comments on another thread

I also value common sense,observation, experience and imaginative ideas. Some of civilisations best advances came from people with those abilities and they were often ridiculed by the established academics of their time.
