Pesticides killing us to

The bees. Kill the bees and set back evolution a few million years. All pollinators should be monitored and cared for. Our lives depends on them. So does every plant that flowers and doesnt rely on wind to pollinate themselves. Cascading starvation disaster movie idea. Everybody and everything dies. How nice.

We have lots of Milkweed in all our flowerbeds. In West Michigan. Then come fall? We collect the pods, dry them . Have the grandkids disperse,plant them across our property or neighborhood.

The story that the colorful milkweed, that was being sold in nurseries, did not have the same symbiotic relationship with the Monarch Butterflies as the white native type. I wonder if the increase in numbers could have something to do with the messages getting through to the retail network? 🦋🐛🦋🐛🦋
