This historic little city on the northwest coast of Florida has plenty to offer its visitors and residents, including fresh seafood that has worldwide acclaim, protected fishing areas, quaint Victorian-era buildings and state and national forests. Oysters from Apalachicola, with their distinctively salty flavor, are highly prized. Apalachicola, which is 80 miles from Jacksonville, is home of the annual Florida Seafood Festival.

Perfect for the forgotten "thing" or for the "sorry I had to leave you at home" souvenier. I stop in at least once each summer and can't get tired of all the cute dog and cat accessories. Loved this shop. ...read more
Beginning in the second half of the Twentieth Century, populations of wild honeybees declined throughout North America due to parasites, disease and environmental factors like weather and pollution. This decrease in population has been of great concern to farmers and scientists. Many researchers are looking for substitute pollinators. Nature has also taken steps to fill this void. Several native pollinators that were once rare are making a comeback! One of these is the mining bee (Andrenidaesp.). Mining bees are also known as lawn bees, sand bees, digger bees and long horned bees (The males of some species have very long antennae.) There are over 900 species of North American digger bees that pollinate many plant species. Mining bees are often drab in color but may feature spots of red, blue or gold. A few are metallic green. They are furry and vary in size. Most are about as large as a honeybee but the largest are as big as a bumblebee. Unlike honeybees, digger bees do not live in colonies. Digger bees are solitary bees. This means that each individual female builds her own nest. Each nest islined with a wax like material that looks shiny, synthetic material that is waterproof, highly resistant to decay, and protects larvae while they are in the ground. Females sometimes build turrets or little volcano like towers of soil at the nest entrance. Often large groups of nests are located in the same area especially on the banks of creeks and in sandy soil. People working and playing near large groups of nests may become concerned. Digger bees are NOT aggressive and stings are very rare and reported to be mild.If left alone, digger bees will often nest in the same area year after year, and provide an annual service by pollinating your garden plants and help to ensure good crops. Some species also act as predators of insect pest species. To welcome these helpful residents into your garden, be careful to avoid disturbing their nesting area. You may wish to reserve an area of the garden for their use. Digger bees prefer warm, sandy areas of soil with a light mulch cover but lacking surface vegetation. Providing season long forage in the form of flowering plants also encourages digger bees to remain in your garden. Finally, take care not to contaminate plants and nests with harmful pesticides. Digger bees are helping provide a natural solution to the decline in wild honeybees. ...read more
