    Did you know that honeybees are not native to the Americas and have long been contributing to the decline in native bee populations?

        That’s kinda the main reason that I have opposed the whole save the bees crap people have been pushing in my area honey bees are not only invasive here but they are also not the only pollinators plants can be pollinated by a variety of ways like the wind that has been covering your car and house with pollen during pollen season and also deer and bugs like ants and spiders hell if you’re so concerned about flowers not getting pollinated you can be a pollinator yourself by walking through fields and what not considering my cat Vlad is always covered in pollen during pollen season im quite sure he has done the job that bees are supposed to be doing way better than bees because he’s not hogging the pollen to make Honey
