This fine homepathic presence of formic acid around the plants from the buzzing around of the bees is very important. The lack of bees needs to be made up for, possibly nettles tea is an important link. Since the decline of bees I have noticed a tremendous increase in the number of ants on the farm. Phenomenal amounts of ants, nests in the driveways, fields, and compost. Put a board or an implement down and a nest appears underneath it. Ants also provide this fine dilution of formic acid in their bite and for marking their trails...SStorch
