    Mono cropping in general has killed so many insects. It’s truly absurd. The knock-on effects and damage to the habitats around farms is wild because of it. Unironically plants are murder.

    Humans are really bad at not killing everything.

      The majority of the plants we grow are fed to animals first which reduces the calories by over 8x. So if anyone wants to reduce their “plant murder” that’s a good place to start.

      Ironically the same bees OP is lamenting about are the reason so many pollinators have died off.

      Honey bees are aggressive foragers, and it’s really a shame we rely on monocrops because it means we also rely on the same honey bees that are killing all our native bees and pollinators.
