Yeah, cats are a necessity to keep the mice in check around these parts (Virginia). The snakes pitch in, too, though I'm not much happier to have snakes in the house than I am to have mice in the house.
I'm trying to work out the cats-bumblebees connection here. So far as I know, the only things that prey on bees would be birds, but I don't think cats are the only thing keeping bird populations in check, and not all birds would attempt to eat something as big as a bumblebee anyway. How does that work?
