    You know what's more important than that selfie you just took?

    Honeybees.

    Cheerios will send you 500 wildflower seeds for free to save the honey bees. I plan on dropping seeds when I go on adventures and camp.

    Most people are unaware how important the pollination of plants by honey bees is.

    No bees= wasteland.

    I might scream and flail like a little girl when I see a bee within 5 feet of me, but I know how vital they are to our ecosystem. I'll take part in this, thanks OP

    You and me both.

    Funny story:

    5th grade, waiting for the morning bus. Got stung between the eyes. By 10 am I had to use my fingers to pry my eyes open so I could see, the swelling was so bad...and it was picture day!

    My mother still won't give up the picture. Says it's her favorite! SMH.

    I just tried to get some seeds and its only in canada...looks like Ill just go buy some seeds because this is super important. Sad the almond industry decides to spray fungicide during the day, when if they sprayed at night, the bees would be sleeping...sure they might still get fungicide from the pollen, but at least they wont drown in it. Their excuse for not doing this at night, you cant see at night...headlights for my taco were 38$ on Amazon...for all ya'll that arent in the know...

    If I didn't have neighbors that I like I would actually farm bees for some nice honey but I can't. I'm actually thinking of buying a vacant lot in the desert just for bee farms.

    I thought about it...but they are kind of intense to take care of...just too much of a pain for me to take care of...that is....

    That's what I hear as well. I'm not allergic but a sting isn't fun either. I guess you take the good with the bad though.
