He was great in that video Dave. Enthusiastic and informative. Sadly/proudly my lawn is the only lawn in my neighborhood in which insecticide is not applied. I have dandelions and all the "pest" plants my neighbors don't have or want. I also have/had a thriving bee colony in the tree in my back yard which feeds and pollinates my front lawn "pest plants". The bee video below is from last year. Every year a "new boy" comes over to play with my children and they get the same audition and I get the same reaction: I pop off a dandelion flower and eat it. The young boys are startled and freak out asking me if I am crazy. I tell them no I just got a nice amount of vitamins. They assume their Dad's are killing poisonous plants. I enjoy this reaction and display every spring.
