Bio-Filters have been used for years. 2 examples are aquarium gravel beds to digest nitrogen, and damp wood-chips in a silo to trap and digest biological odors from an abattoir. Both rely on the production of "mucus" (slime).

I must admit that at first reading your post, I thought it was about using "essential oils" on people to treat blood diseases (which I doubt would be effective, and smelled of RFK Jr.)

So many questions:
1) Which pathogens (of what?)
Searching for Ms. de Silva seems to support a guess of Nematodes in Pine?

Beautifully done!

The domesticated bee (Apis mellifera), is the one most often thought of with the phrase "save the bees", but ironically, humans brought this species to many countries, much to the detriment of the thousands of kinds of native bees that were already there.

None-the less, your picture *is* beautiful.

So it's "Orange-Shafted", maybe? 🤣

I had the same experience with a baby (just fledged) robin in a hedge, just last week. We stared at each other, until I moved a bit, and it flapped away clumsily.

Please try again. The link you gave just takes you to buffer.com - Not a survey

Rolling over for a tummy-rub is very endearing, though.

"& humbug" ?

Smaller/lighter stuff was washed out from under the road? (i.e., the rocks did not rise, the road sank).

With African porcupines!?

What latitude? (Note I didn't ask where, because)
