    People: Why are bees and fireflies dying in droves?

    Also People: Better hose my yard with chemicals and mount floodlights until it looks like a baseball stadium

      Let me install bee boxes with hundreds of thousands of invasive bees to harvest honey.

      Ugh. We have spent so much on blackout curtains because of our neighbor’s insistence on having outdoor lights on all night. Same neighbor who once said to me “I just hate clover, don’t you?”…

        Motherfucker, how do they manage to hate clover? Its a nitrogen fixing ground cover that looks and smells good and is good for pollinators
