Birds, bees and fruit trees - what's happening??

[bobme]

I have a Question for all on something very unusual for me about what is going on in the nature around me right now.

First off, I noticed many birds have flown south, or something, as for the last week, I have seen no robins, no redwing blackbirds, no starlings, anywhere in my area, southern mid MI.

Also, my pears and apples are ripe a month and a half early. they usually are not ripe until the end of September. Also the birds I mentioned, are usually here until October.

Anyone else observing this? just very curious.

[HopSan]

Same here (Southern Finland).

1) Normally, every summer, I carry almost daily a bee or three outside. This year, only one, months ago.

2) No birds in the garden, eating berries, or using prepared wooden nests.

3) I have seen only a few butterflies.

4) Apple trees have top harvest after being 'dying' some years ago.


Chemtrails were common here about 5 yrs ago, but now: none.

I suspect the greatest difference is 5G. Before it came, some warned that the frequencies were not suitable for small insects (that many birds eat (?)).

[bobme]

Thanks for the info HopSan.

My wife planted the flower gardens for butterflies & humming birds, so we see plenty of those here. And bees also.

As far as Chemtrails go, when there is a good chance of rain in the forecast, They really ramp up the spaying.

Good luck there.

[Did You See Them]

Bees and wasps are a no show this year despite the garden being in better shape than most years ( I've had time on my hands for once to maintain it ! )
Wasps nest every year in the corner roof eve outside at the back - it's normally like an international airport with their comings and goings - but nothing this year !
I've even pollinated tomatoes and french beans by hand a couple of months ago as there seemed little insect activity.

[bobme]

That is odd Did You See them. But I also have not seen as many wasps this summer either, now that you mention it. Go figure.

[shaberon]

I no longer live at the "orchard" we bought, so, I am out of touch with seasons of fruits and the like. As a loose observation, there has barely seemed to be much wasp activity this year--at this house we usually get multiple nests. What caught my attention is that yesterday I saw a flock of migrating geese. This seemed to be about a month early. Around here, it has certainly been a "cool" summer, which means "not scorching hot". That shouldn't make much difference--most species don't rely on x number of 95+ degree days. They are more timed by cold and darkness.

We did have a big cicada year, but, only in one spot. If I turn to the right, a couple of miles down the road, it was nearly deafening. But I didn't notice them anywhere else. So that seemed a bit unusual.

[bobme]

Hot, muggy, and wet summer here. Mosquitoes are very numerous also.

[Ewan]

Been a washout here in Ireland, barely any dry days and even less sunshine.
Yesterday highest temp was 14 degC. Swallows collecting on the wires getting ready to leave, a month early.
Very few insects of any desciption except the pesky midges who seem to like the cool and damp conditions. A few butterflies. I'm only seeing wasps now as they are lethargic and looking for places to hide, there are not many.

The canaries are disappearing all around us, this mine may be near the time where it is unsafe to enter.

[Johan (Keyholder)]

It has been a wet summer in Belgium too. One or two weeks of nice weather. Very few wasps, butterflies, mosquitoes...
So yes indeed, very few insects around.

The same goes for birds, but that depends on the area.

[Abondance]

Very big delay in my crops this year, we have rain almost continuously until the summer.
Very few butterflies, and bees are mostly in very flowery places. Little mosquito, but a lot of flies (it’s quite common).
I saw the first storks migrate (I live along a corridor they tread every year at the end of August), a few weeks ahead.

Yesterday I read an article stating that the Atlantic is cooling "abnormally" (compared to scientists' projections):

"While sea temperatures are only rising due to global warming, the latest ocean surveys show that the Atlantic Ocean is cooling rapidly. Scientists are unable to explain this phenomenon and believe it will have an impact on the weather around the world. '

Cold and early winter for Northern hemisphere ?

[Bill Ryan]

A more positive report from Ecuador. :flower:

It's the 6 month summer season here right now, and we're in the middle of an unusual drought: no measurable rain for 40 days. (The rivers and lakes are all very low, though my year-round mountain spring water is unaffected.)

My own statistic of the health of butterflies and hummingbirds is how often I have to rescue them from inside my house. Everything is normal, and there's been no reduction in numbers that I regularly set free. :)

:heart:

Internet says most of Ecuador is in the southern hemisphere, which makes it mostly winter there now.

Back to thread topic, here in Edmonton I have noticed far fewer songbirds and flying bugs this year than in previous years. Might have to do with the neighbouring-lot house and trees having been razed a couple months ago, but it does feel weird.

My little finger tells me that the super climate scientists and oceanographers do not communicate with geophysicists...

Is it so inconceivable that the disturbances of the earth’s magnetic field and the movement of the poles (follow the thread below) have an impact on the great ocean streams?

[ExomatrixTV]

In my small back garden I have: strawberries, apple tree, cherry tree, avocado tree, pear tree and ALL of them acted really weird this year in 2024!

Almost no cherries, 5% apples and they were really small, 10% avocados (100% = normal) no pears, no strawberries ... and ALL of them had "blossom flowers" in springtime but about 90% less than normal.


I rarely saw bees ... and the previous years before that I saw plenty of bees buzzing on my fruit trees & strawberry plants.

This year, the skies are more often "whitish gray" instead of the normal (light/medium) blue ... and what I noticed is that when/if "THEY" (who are spraying (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?122504-They-Weaponized-The-Weather-2024-2025-Updates-)) know it will be a very cloudy day the next day, they STOP spraying and then all of a sudden I see REAL BLUE SKYLINE between the 80 to 90% clouds ... I can see the airplanes crossing with only a very short trail or even nothing ... then when it is predicted to be a cloudless day the next day, they start heavily spraying again in very early morning then it will linger for hours & slowly spreads the skyline is not blue anymore.


And the sickening part of it all is that most people have no clue what is happening and why it is happening! :facepalm:

cheers,

hi john.

did you notice very many bees, or other pollinators when your plants were in blossom ?

You answered that already. Thanks

I already answered that (refresh page!) ;)

[leavesoftrees]

I just picked a dozen tomatoes today - at the end of Winter. Usually tomato plants die off in June.

[bobme]

That is very odd leavesoftrees. Guess I am not the only one seeing nature doing things differently this year.

[bobme]

And as Bill Ryan stated, no rain for forty days? If that happened here, I would need to rent a compressor & a jackhammer to dig a two foot deep hole in the soil!

[DeDukshyn]

For where I am (interior of BC, Canada) this year has been a bit different here as well, but not too out of the ordinary. I have seen more native bees (bumblebees and carpenter bees notably), and somewhat less honeybees than last year (but there was a lot last year). Not a lot of butterflies or moths this year, nor mosquitos or other small flies. Dragonflies were very late this year, not emerging until mid July, which was weird - but maybe they were waiting for some heat which came late. A few cicadas and a few crickets, fairly normal, but years ago there used to be millions of crickets singing all night - now you are lucky if you hear them at all.

As far as birds go, I have never seen so many birds and such variety in my life here. My cat is having a heyday (loves hunting, and eats most of what he kills). Woodpeckers are everywhere, robins also seem to have dwindled, but the often do go south early, I have found. So many sparrows and chickadees, warblers, flickers, even bald eagles - so many bald eagles this year. Doves seem absent this year compared to last couple years, but they were never around here when I was younger. Swallows have come back after being absent for many years.

Weather was very cold and very wet up until the beginning of July (a bit unusual), then it turned hot and dry for July and most of August - its fairly seasonal right now.

Other things I noticed is a lot of bats this year, but they were out late as well... stupid cat was having a heyday with those as well (made me cringe a bit thinking of rabies). Deer are everywhere, probably some eating apples off the tree right now in the back yard. Frogs / toads seemed mostly absent this year - also a bit odd as I live by a lake.

EDIT to add: On fruit trees, the apples are doing well again this year, but they seem to be not as large as last year. I picked about 75 lbs last year, and about 25 lbs went to the animals, this year I expect similar but a little less perhaps.

[bobme]

Thanks DeDukshyn. I have not seen many, if any toads this year either. And I also live across the road by a lake. Frogs were loud this spring, but not now. As far as crickets go, I have not seen, or heard any this year, and they are usually very noisy this time of year also.

For me anyway, the sound of frogs, and crickets, is very soothing, and good music to fall asleep with.

[Bill Ryan]

And as Bill Ryan stated, no rain for forty days? If that happened here, I would need to rent a compressor & a jackhammer to dig a two foot deep hole in the soil!No rain for 46 days. But it rained on the 47th day — at last!! — a full half an inch. That was enough to get the frogs singing at the tops of their voices. :ROFL:

(I almost never get to see the frogs, but it's great to know they're all hanging in there. :))

[yiolas]

I'm in Cyprus - Eastern Mediterranean region
I have had the worst summer growing season yet. Temperatures over 38c since June. I have not seen any bees since March. No butterflies to speak of. My corn cobs have dried up on the stalks with half produced kernels. Cucumbers start out great, but then stop growing. Tomato plants grown outside have all dried up. Tomatoes grown in a shaded greenhouse produced until June, then dried up. We have chemtrails all the time here. This is very concerning.

[shaberon]

Internet says most of Ecuador is in the southern hemisphere, which makes it mostly winter there now.


Tropical regions usually have two seasons, wet and dry.

With it being on the Pacific, then, that is a bit telling, although I'm not sure how Atlantic cooling would directly effect, for example, Michigan. Europe and just the U. S. east coast would make intuitive sense. Usually, anecdotal evidence is horrid, but it looks like we are getting a very similar response from places that are nowhere near each other.

[Johan (Keyholder)]

It is maybe not an anomaly, but it is very unusual.

We have a kingfisher in our garden (there is a large pond with a lot of fish and wells).

The only other place in the country I saw one, was nearby a river in the Ardennes, where less people live.

Now, today, my friend saw a "small kingfisher butterfly" in the garden. This is a butterfly that is rare over here and normally never is spotted. Closest area would be somewhere in Holland. So, that's 'twice' kingfisher.

Thanks for the picture Bill!

[Hermoor]

I've just heard the first flock of geese flying off south. It's about a month earlier than usual.

I guess they have decided to bail out early from the Scottish Highlands due to months of unseasonably, historically bad weather. It's been uncommonly cold, wet and overcast here since late May and I'm sick of it.

There have hardly been any butterflies and moths here all 'summer'. Ditto for bees and wasps. And dragonflies too. The midges are as bad as ever. The ticks are very numerous, but still uncommonly small for this time of year.

There are far fewer small birds to be seen and I've yet to see a golden eagle or an osprey this 'summer' too. That's never happened before.

Something is messing with our weather really badly. It's anything but natural. I've been an avid outdoorsman my entire life and I've never known anything like it.

[Hermoor]

By far my biggest impression of 2024 thus far is of it being the year when the parasites went nuts with their weather modification programmes.

The weather in the Scottish Highlands has been FUBAR since late May. It's still uncommonly cold, wet and overcast here. As a nine year old I could already interpret the weather competently and knew every type of cloud in the sky from cumulonimbus to cirrus. At least 5 days a week I can't discern any cloud types in the sky. It's just a blanket, overcast mass of some weird grey blancmange looking crap. It makes me bloody furious.

Here is a farmer from the south of England commenting on his observations, notably a glaring lack of insects and very poor grass and crop growth.

C7cowk24kH92

Another English farmer deduces that it's been the worst harvest on record. He has many serious concerns including food security and UK farming being pushed to the brink of collapse.

[bobme]

Thanks for all the info every one. :thumbsup:


As Hermoor, and others here I always was,and still am, an avid outdoors man. Way to many people do not notice anything about nature,or what is so strange about it this year.

I also have also noticed the weeds in the lake are at least three times taller,and thicker than any other year. I have fished it for fifty plus years.
