Whoa whoa whoa I love bees as much as the next guy but 100x increase sheeeeet
Bumblebees don’t sting.
They do but it takes a lot to make them angry.
I’m doing my part. Bought the 3 acre parcel next to me and am letting it grow back wild.
You may already know this, and obviously I have no idea where you are or what your land is like, but it may be worth looking into keystone plants and invasives in your area. If you’re rewilding the plot, having a solid amount of keystone species can accelerate the restoration of the land. And removing invasives will ensure that your keystone plants aren’t outcompeted. Best of luck with your project!
That is uplifting. You go bees!
Fuck humanity.
Fuck humanity
Well sure, okay, if you do it by wealth, in descending order.
That’s a very good metric I think. It is impossible to be a billionaire and not be a terrible person.
Its amazing how fast nature can recover with a little help and stopping destroying it. Especially when you are looking at smaller pioneer species. I’ve been growing natives, clover and other bee friendly plants for a few years and its amazing to see how many more bees and butterflies I have seen in just two years. Removing herbicides and a more lax definition of what a weed is has given me a lot of valuable volunteer species who just show up.
Good
