I genuinely get a little upset when people talking about saving the bees. Not because I think the bees aren’t worth saving, but because people are only performative and don’t actually know anything.
When most people say “save the bees” they mean honey bees, and this is quite apparent since many of the reasons they say this is because “we’ll lose honey” if we don’t. But they don’t even know that the honeybees aren’t native to the US (they were brought over with our colonizers. Funny, even their bugs were colonizers) and are in fact competitors to native wildlife. We don’t have to worry about saving honey bees because corporations already want to do that. Honeybees are essential to pollinating plants for large scale fruit and vegetable growth for supermarkets, so the corporations who sell these crops won’t let them die out. What we need to worry about is the native species which are dying, some of which due to the introduction of honeybees to our continent. Honeybees don’t even do most of the pollinating outside of corporations, especially with native plants which we need to conserve.
Did you know that fireflies are going extinct? A lot of different actually native bees are too, and a bunch of other insects that help to pollinate. Birds and small mammals are a big part of pollination, and we’re losing a lot of those too.
But again, people just want to wear a shirt that says “save the bees” and buy honey infused soap or whatever, because it’s a trend, not because they’re actually wanting to help save our environment.

I saw the monarch on this milkweed next to my apartment while I was walking by, but then as I was taking photos of the monarch this bee came up to hang out as well! 🐝

So I never really thought about it before, but I saw this post and I think it’s super important that more people are made aware of the dangers of fake webs, so I’m sharing it here. Have a safe and happy Halloween, everyone!
