Emergencies include acute abdominal pain, suspected poisoning, snakebite, burns, frostbite, shock, dehydration, abnormal vomiting or bleeding, and deep wounds. You’re the best judge of your dog’s health , as you live with and observe him every day. You should know that the temperature of a healthy dog ranges from 101 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit taken with a rectal thermometer.

Bee Problem


We need to increase the concern about the disappearance of real honey bees, which can affect what we eat.

Honey bee pollination directly or indirectly benefits about one-third of our food supply. Each year, the work they do to pollinate i.e. U.S. Agricultural crops is worth about $15 billion. And the need for pollination to supply these crops continues to grow all over the world.

The problem of dying bees is often called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), and it was first noticed in October 2006. So far it has caused about one-third of the honey bee population in the United States to disappear.

Experts say that pesticides, parasites and inadequate food supply may all be contributing to the problem, but more research is needed to find an accurate answer.Although this past spring, there were enough honey bees to provide all needed pollination, there may not be in the future.
