Ms. Pat's Nature Club is a blog for anyone who is a nature nut and loves nature, no matter what age you are. I hope you will let me know what you think and give me feedback. I love to hear from my friends!

Critter Watch

My bees came out of their nest when it was so cold last week! I found many bees dead on my front porch and many more just very sluggish. Are they moving out for the winter? I hope so!

Critter Watch

We saw a bald eagle this morning! It was soaring way high, up above the trees. We saw eagles a lot this summer, but haven't for over a month.

Critter Watch

I have a nest of bees (or are they yellowjackets?) living in my front porch. I checked with the extension service and they should move out when it gets cold and then we can seal up the hole. Let's hope it works! People are afraid to come to my front door!
