    I don’t get the meme… They throw it all in the rectangular hole?

    But the thing with the dying bees is just the marketing simplification, everyone involved knows that.

      I don’t think the public knows that, that’s the problem.

        Yeah, the new emphasis on “pollinator gardens/spaces” has maybe made it better, but when the conversation was “save the bees they are important pollinators” the public 100% saw it as a bee specific issue.

          The not-so-problem with that is that people started planting flowers to “save the bees” and inadvertently also helped other species.

      This meme can be taken a few different ways. This makes me think of this book I’ll link below that shows how people get really hyped about certain species and forget about the rest of the ecosystem.

      I also don’t get it. conservationists are upset because?..

      maybe if we knew the video the images were captured from.

        I think that the joke is that European honey bees are used as a universal pollinator in half-assed greenwashing schemes this outcompeting native pollinators. Conservationists want to save all the other pollinators.

        I envy you a little for not knowing this classic, you can experience it for the first time. The link is already in the comments.

      Yes, so conversation irl is just that, isn’t it? It is mostly concerned with species that are marketed as being endangered and so it’s usually cute or humanlike species that you can more easily market to people.

    Hanging around the chive flowers in my garden this morning and loving watching all the little bitty bugs! There was a honeybee, sure, but also lots and lots of sweat bees and parasitic wasps and butterflies and ants too.
