I had to kill 6 stingy bees today because they invaded my home. Nobody asked them to make a nest here.

Edit: killed another one

In those moments I'm as high as fuck and imagine I could own a home, I'd just desert-ify the yard. It's going that way anyway, let's beat the rush. Just sand and rocks and some desert plants. Like us, most yards will die in the water wars.

…..Because of insecticides from agriculture.

It has literally nothing to do with people mowing their lawns.

If you got rid of all of the lawns you’d still see mass extinction of honey bees.

Sure but why add to the problem? Why not carve out your own little slice and help the situation? Probably not going to hurt anything if you stop using pesticides and feed the bees where you can.

It’s not adding to the problem. As long as farmers are using fuck tons of pesticides and insecticides every day it doesn’t matter what you do to your lawn.

Either way insects are going to die.

You guys love slinging shit but you have no clue where to sling it.

This just isn't accurate. Your lawn isn't responsible for the death of bees. You also don't need pesticides for a healthy nice looking lawn.
