If people really want to save the bees, they need to replace lawns with fields of wildflowers.

tbh there needs to be a conversation about the honey industry.

while the food is definitely important, honey bees are not native to areas. they edge out natural pollinators solely for capitalist profit. it isn't the most destructive habit capitalism causes but honey bees should be raised in land they are native to.
