Yeah, try getting rid of the fruit section. Orchards either have their own bee hives or hire beekeepers to bring their hives to pollinate.
Sphinxycat
Are bees the only one who can stack shelves? I don't think so. Give giraffes a chance.

I didn't kill the dandelions this year. My beekeeper buddy told me they need it.

If we have a world without bees we won't be around to feel the horrendous effects of climate change for very long

A large influx of bees would solve this problem!

As a beekeeper in glad that this is finally getting some traction within the wider community.
Atria
Do you have any suggestion on what to do about carpenter bees? I have a male making claims to my small balcony making it unusable.
Dogstar23
Unfortunately I know very little about another species of bees other than honey bees. I would suggest you call your local beekeepers.

I'm glad bees are getting the love they deserve but stop scare mongering. They're not going extinct. A few sub species are threatened >
realscrumpysteve
but not the entire insect. Colony collapse is falling and as of 2015 the number of pollinating bees is on the rise.
Kerberos623
and in china they lost bees in a village, hand pollinated and got a bigger yield. one of my family did hand pollination for a company in US.

so i take it that this is a cheerios add
emguhraeb
Cheerios sent people wildflower seeds for free just to help the bees. I got a packet of em. I can't wait for them to grow!
illogicalphallusies
I got one too. The issue with them is they include an invasive species of flower...
emguhraeb
That's no bueno! I put mine in planters on my back patio.

Good message, painted up like a corporate whore which kinda hurts it, still true
TheSilverWitch
Nothing wrong with a business doing something that is good them them AND the world. That is the best kind of marketing.
GGCrono
These corporations have a lot of money to throw around. It's nice to see them use it for good things once in awhile.
GamingMule
Yeah by making it out like we ordinary people are responsible for the mess they and their kind (corporate cunts) are doing to our world.
Chistoid
This doesn't come off as that to me. This comes off as "Holy shit we're all screwed if we lose bees guys, pay attention."

I'm calling hyperbole! That shelf is missing a lot more than "one out of three bites".

I found out on Easter that my grandfather killed over 800 bees in 2016 "for fun". This Easter he had already killed 300+. I can't stand it
Pharya
I am far more interested in how he counts them
DarkSideoftheForce
He keeps track on a notecard. I took this one early March. The 800 was filled completely I wish I had a pic
Pharya
That's super fucking weird dude. I kill a bee if it's hanging around our swimming pool because some family is allergic and would be barefoot
Pharya
but to count them on a scorecard is just fucking weird. For anything. Who does that, for anything?
FuzzyCatCat
Kill him
Anthraxwastaken
Uh...what?
DarkSideoftheForce
My grandfather has killed probably close to 2000 bees in 2 years at this point "because they are annoying and it's fun"

Dementia? Or a God complex?

He gets rid of them without thinking of the consequences. So ignorance is my best guess

Yes but there are raging infernos as far as the eye can see and we each have only one glass of water to extinguish all the flames.

Are they? Atlanta is working on this issue. My old college is trying to help it. My hometown started a community garden to help
rotten2core
Actually a company has developed robot bees... so I wouldn't say we're completely ignoring it. Not best solution but good initiative.
legalizeC4
I was just thinking about that the other day. It's not a good day when we need them but it may be the only way.
rotten2core
Exactly. Shitty problem, good solution.

I'll take them over real bees. I absolutely hate all bugs. A phobia really. Fuck bugs.

Its not about you or your fear of bugs its for the survival of the human race lmao

As someone allergic to them, bees are Bros; wasps however can die in an inferno. Without some bugs you'd have over amounts of shitty bugs.

I know it's not much but it's a start. My main contribution is to vote for a political party that is environmentally responsible
AsksTooManyQuestions
I like bees. I feel lucky to have tons of them in my yard. I don't like wasps. I feel unlucky to also have tons of them in my yard.
AsksTooManyQuestions
The real question is how can I get rid of one but not the other?
cliojayne
You know.... that seems like just the right amount of questions for this situation. I would also as well like to know.
cavefish
Serious question. What can I as an individual do to help save bees?
stiggypa
Put Bee Movie on repeat for 365 days.
cliomhsolas

cavefish
Thanks
sundaymondayhippyday
Petition and organise information about the Pesticides that currently kill them, present them to your local political members.
Rivalyn
If you're rural, beekeeping. If you're urban, support local beekeepers by sourcing honey from a farmer's market.
cliojayne
Rural or urban, certain plants are "better" for bees. Could google a list and have those.
cavefish
I really have to see next time I'm buying honey (might be in 5 years) where the honey comes from
Rivalyn
Certain big brands are okay, but others ultra-filter the honey and make it basically just flavoured glucose.

But the bees were cool. The people sucked.
HOOMANGUY
In china they send people with Qtips into the fields to manually pollinate the crops and stuff. That's the furure.
Aesurah
I've seen that. The Effect of no environmental regulations resulting in more jobs. Demeaning and time consuming, but yay! Jobs!
AerospaceNinja
They also developed robotic bees to pollinate for them as well. Still working on some kinks before they are released I believe
TormentedPenguin
this is why GMOs are good.. reduces the use of general pesticides by using genes to kill specific insects
Thothshai
Except when it increases pesticide use right.
atobatarnf
Y'all have been bill nyed? The gmos are not a problem as much as filling the air with pesticides is
TormentedPenguin
i did watch that episode.. but I felt this way before. he dumbs down the science.. which is sad to say, but is needed.
Chistoid
It's not quite right to say he's dumbing down the science, it's still where it is, he's just presenting it in an accessible manner.
TormentedPenguin
It's actually a better way to get the point across and allowing people to look into farther. Plus he only has 30 minutes
TormentedPenguin
it's dumbing it down by saying we take genes from Petunias and place it in Corn. rather then going into specifics on how and such.
jpparkenbone
I 100% never understood the whole anti-GMO thing.

people think that humans absorb the DNA or other products, so we will turn into mutants.. people are DUMB!

GMO, like any technology, can be abused. There are many examples one being round up ready crops that are resistant to glyphosate(kills bees)
HOOMANGUY
Except that glyphosat is the main bee killer right now and that one is designed to work with GMOs.
20mandan
Glyphosate is an herbicide far from being a number one bee killer.

Definitely not the main killer.

no.. shit like the old DDT and other broad insecticides were the problem. Now they have things GMOs to target Corn Rootworm

Funny how the American response is "GMO" while Europe's is "organic agriculture"...

PirateRubberDuck
America is known for lack of clarity of ingredients in food. We cant trust your food even without GMO.
asm80dfa8sdfj
Do you know what GMO actually entails? Selective breeding. All of your food is GMO, crops and livestock included. We just took it further.
kanybal
You do realize that "Genetically modified" means, well, genetically modified? I'm not even the one who downvoted you..
TormentedPenguin
Look up corn vs traditional corn. Look up bananas.. all GMOs before genetics were a thing.
asm80dfa8sdfj
1. that's what the acronym stands for, yes. To elaborate, beyond the traditional bounds of nature, this plant has come to be this way.
asm80dfa8sdfj
3. It does happen naturally, but randomly. Humans guide the process with an intended outcome; breed the big ones to get bigger ones.
asm80dfa8sdfj
2. The vast majority of all genetic modification is selective breeding and hybridization - those things are outside of what nature would do.
theBEARDEDarchaeologist
Hahahaha, yes. Because Europe is self sufficient when it comes to agriculture.
kanybal
Well, sorry to disappoint, I'm French and we are. But thanks for your arrogance and condescension, we couldn't have done without it
Donnicton
The hypocrisy in that statement is blinding.
ForgotMyOtherAcct
If you're self sufficient in agriculture and also completely organic, you're either incorrect or supporting fewer people than you could.
Chamato
or, you know, they export some..
kanybal
Soooo.. what's wrong with supporting fewer people than we could so long as we're self sufficient?
PuppyDontCare
I don't understand why ppl don't get this
rubbarz
Because change. That is always the answer for problems with progression. People hate change.
27yoUGLYvirgin
Edgy comment is edgy. You know very well the reason is that many people don't trust GMO food to be healthy for a lack of long term studies.
rubbarz
That is not the case at all. The reason why is because GMOs kill bugs and people think that it can kill humans which is dumb.
27yoUGLYvirgin
What the hell, that is not true at all. My country made GMO illegal, that is absolutely not the reason why, nobody thinks that.
TwoVhsCopiesOfGoodfellas
Because GMO is currently in the hands of people like monsanto. It ain't difficult. That company is scum of the earth. No trust at all.
fruust
there's not a single product we eat today that hasn't been altered in some way by humans.
27yoUGLYvirgin
You know exactly that the skepticism has absolutely nothing to do with this but is about not wanting to eat genetically modified food.
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
Almost all foods are genetically modified to some extent. You can't escape it. It's not less healthy or anything, people need to relax.
27yoUGLYvirgin
Huh? How are almost all foods genetically modified? In America maybe. In my country there's not a single one allowed.
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
Have you ever eaten corn? All corn is GMO. Soy? Non-gmo is still around, but a rarity and very expensive. Most pigs, chickens, and cattle...
27yoUGLYvirgin
And you know that it's not less healthy because...?
27yoUGLYvirgin
I love it, downvoted but no answer given. That'll show me. Oh wait, it confirms I'm right.
NaziZombiePrincessKenny
In reality it would look a lot more worse.
avenienn
Why?
NaziZombiePrincessKenny
Bees are responsible for about 70% of pollination worldwide. If they would go extinct our flora would be straight up wrecked, and so are we.
avenienn
tha is a gross overtatement. True there would be a big impact, but thez are not the only pollinators (1
avenienn
2) most vegetables do not depend on them or are self pollinating. Most crops are selfpollinating. Root vegetables dont need pollination.
NaziZombiePrincessKenny
(ssss, if you overexaggerate kids may take things seriously) We all know it's a misconception since a book that came out in the 70s or so.
avenienn
3) and in the cases that polliation is needed, the honey bee is in most cases not the crucial one or the only one to do it
