Or, hear me out, we stop ruining the environment, so natural pollinators can do what they do best.
I don’t really think this is an option anymore. We’re so far gone it’s time to prepare for the consequences
We have some repairing to do, that's for sure.
It took humanity centuries to fuck the planet up, it will take millenia for it to recover. I don't think we will have much say in the process lol.
I mean, just stop spraying nasty shit. Yeah, your crops yield a little less for a few years, but that's the price of hubris. This is what govt should be doing. But no. It's all cronyism.
But muh fourth quarter!
Nah, best I can do is bigger cars.
I think while the environment is an important part, farming needs to ethically take of the animals. One could argue "certified humane" is more important than organic though it's all important. I think these are some good outlines for treating bees well: https://beeseasonal.com/blogs/every-honey-tells-a-story/organic-honey-more-than-just-a-certification
What, don't like your delicious smog air, you dirty hippy?
