Im not a lefty, but I’m guite greeny, bees are dying. Stop killing them. People use dust and spray wasp and bee killer indiscriminately and don’t think about the consequences. Our apple orchards suffer and our honey harvest suffers. Honey is an important natural sweetener and anti allergen. Plant white clover and goldenrod as ground cover to help bees thrive and combat erosion.
Well yes and no. The bees may disappear but strawberries, avocados, and coffee won't. They may get more expensive since artificial pollination does cost more and is more labor intensive but it's entirely feasible. In fact there are several fruits that are already being hand pollinated now.
even the honey bee cereal company (cheerios?) was mailing seeds for free if you signed up. they were flower seeds so that bees would have more of a habitat/ food... so i don't think is that far off.
Buy more organic!!!! im pretty sure the pesticides and fungicides in some way are related to the bee dying but big corps like Monsanto don't want you to know! This is not fact-based, just a theory. Anyway it's better to buy organic ;)
i'm not talking about gmo, talking bout pesticides/fungicides. And where i live (Europe), if you declare something organic it also has to be non gmo. Organic means its grown without chemical pesticides, and the plants don't have a specified amount of pesticides in them (which can also be caused by wind blowing from one farmer to another)
