Found out that my neighbor, directly adjacent to where my bees resided last summer along my back fence, just hired a company to spray pesticide with a firehose over their entire yard. Apparently it's an anual event for them to sterilize their habitat, with what turns out to be neonicotinoids. I found out because my other neighbor adjacent to the first, also gardens and has kids. Kids who were outside playing under the trees being sprayed.
I believe it was Shakespeare who said, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." In my experience, a mother bear is a lot worse, and in this case as you might imagine, the mother was livid. My wife also, even though she and the kids were not home at the time.
