Try to protect our little pollinators by not spraying w**ds - where possible let them grow - particularly early in the year as they are the only food for bees
This is a dead honeybee. The pollen on her legs is from dandelions. Her tongue is sticking out due to what killed her that was on the dandelions.
It’s spring, dandelions are the bees first food. This bee is dead from w**d killer spread on what we see as w**ds, but what nature sees as food.
Please don’t spray for w**ds until you see the blackberries blooming. In this area, w**ds, flowers and fruit trees are bees only source of food until middle of June.
There are FAR more w**ds than flowers or fruit trees, so it's their only food source. NO bees, NO food crops for us and we all STARVE!!
