      no, a bunch of “bee activists” concerned the bees are dying run massive “save the bees” campaigns, that just end is more honey bees, ironically most people hate wild bees because they look like wasps, this is literally one of those issues where public attention has backfired

        people hate wild bees because they look like wasps

        Which I don’t get, because leafcutter and Mason bees are so cute! They may have similar coloring to certain wasps, but to me they just look like smaller bees with prettier colors.

        If people saw how cute their little leaf taquitos were, more people would make little habitats for them.
