    This! Dandelion pollen does not contain all the amino acids necessary to support native bees. However, because they come up first and bees often become attracted to the first things they feed on, they can actually make bees addicted to them. Because they can’t meet their nutritional requirements with them, they die.

    Plant native plants people!



  • I’m glad I read a second article about this because the first one was clearly biased towards the farmer and didn’t have all the information. This one included how many birds had already died (over 10%, which is a lot to me) and how much disproved science masquerading theory was brought into court. Even if the birds were beneficial for science, it needs to be in a lab controlled setting with proper protocol so it doesn’t infect everyone around them.

    Have fun wallowing in H5N1 bird shit, convoyers!







  • Personally, I care because I love honey, farm grown food, and they are a poster child for all bees. Without them, there is certainly a lot less care for native bees. While yes they are primarily important for large monocropped farms, that’s your food. Like, so much of your food. Native bee populations aren’t sufficient or interested in pollinating our food crops, so yes we should really care.
