CHARLES DARWIN
What's the link between Bumble Bees, Red Clover,
Field Mice and Cats?
Field mice destroy bumble bee
nests.
The bumble bee is a major pollinator of
red clover.
Cats hunt and kill field mice.
If you like bumble bees and red clover and would like to help
preserve the continuation of both
species then why not adopt a cat, or even an additional cat?
Extract from the Kent
Bee-keepers Association
"The Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin discusses the struggle for existence
between
species, linking the pollination of red clover by bumble bees with mice that
destroy their nests, and cats which control the
mice.
