Nature

Do it for the environment.

Whether you say "Awwww!" or "Ahhhh!" when you see videos of butterflies swarming around turtles, we're here to find out if this heartwarming scene is real or just something artificial intelligence cooked up.

You can say whatever you want about Missouri and you might even be right, but there's no arguing about how awesome the natural geographical features of the state are. Someone counted all the natural springs in the state and the number is beyond incredible.

You might have some of this around your family and not even know it.

Well, you can likely say goodbye to really cold weather in Illinois. No, this is not an official forecast from the National Weather Service, but it's an indication from nature as the first bee of 2024 has already been spotted in the central part of the Land of Lincoln.

There were... dozens of them. All over the yard. I was nervous at first, because I know bees are very important to nature and the environment. And, you know, I've seen The Wicker Man (you know, the one with Nic Cage).

Have you seen this weird occurrence at a trailhead in your neck of the woods? Here's what it means.

The county tried to bring them a little further into the modern era, but, and I'm just talkin' here, they failed pretty spectacularly, if I do say so myself.

I have had some persistent bees here of late, who seem to be bound and determined to fly into me, kamikaze style.  So I started to wonder... how can I get them to leave me alone?

One of my most distinct memories from growing up in Missouri is chasing (and catching) fireflies. I called them "lightning bugs" because I didn't know any better. There are reports that these fascinating creatures are slowly but surely disappearing and it appears that it's our own fault.
