There is a bee twiddling its legs on the moonlit dashboard of Bill Crawford’s pickup. I tell him we’ve got a straggler before it crawls under a stack of stained papers. There are roughly 4 million more in the back. He is not even slightly concerned.

    Can't see an article like this without also mentioning non-domesticated bees.

    The European Honey bee is super important for human agriculture but I don't see a lot of love given to the thousands of native bees and other pollinators that are on the decline. We need them too! (Not shitting on you, btw OP, just cant help myself on this topic.

      invasive plants push out native bugs of all kids. There should be so many more people just maintaining our environment, but it's not profitable enough so it's just volunteers most of the time. It's pretty fuckin pathetic.
