    Beautiful! If everyone took heed and planted native milkweed and discontinued their use of pesticides (insecticides, herbicides, any "cide,") at home, we could potentially save the monarch butterfly and the declining native bee species.

    As a kid I remember seeing them all over, now I don't see many of them. I guess I now look at the milkweed in a different light.

    Teachers, show the movie to your students and have them plant milkweed.
    When your students see a Monarch they will make a positive connection.

    I love the message but what a warning! Please everyone, learn about permaculture so we can stop poising ourselves and our environment by 'modern' farming

    Does anyone know this "variation" of Common Milkweed because all the Common Milkweeds I've seen don't have the elongated hoods(the part where the nectar is stored; is usually kind of box like and short). The ones in this field have long, kind of wavy hoods, not the typical short, stubby ones. Thanks. Awesome video by the way:)

    May I ask, where is this meadow inside Yosemite National Park? I would love to visit this spot captured in the milkweed and monarch video when I visit.

    I learned this morning that the monarch has decreased by 85% in the past 2 decades due to Americas agricultural activity smh
    Even tho I live on the outskirts of Baltimore, i should still see bees. I have although my life and I've only lived outside of md for less than 5yrs total. In the last decade, I could count on 1 hand how many bees I've seen. The last one was on my car door and i took a pic of it. Where'd they all go? Smh shameful💔
    A friend is gonna mail me some milkweed seeds to plant in October. Hopefully that'll help some. It's sad witnessing this sorta thing happen. Makes me angry too

    Pesticides aren’t even needed for agriculture anyway. Healthy plants aren’t susceptible to pests or disease. Look up Advancing Eco Agriculture.

      unfortunately some GMOs absolutely wreck native milkweed. a lot of native milkweed may be hardy but some other plants can easily take them over and kill them off. they are only called weeds because of the places they can grow in, but aren't actually that invasive at all and tend to do better around the same exact kind of milkweed rather then others because they compete for the soil
