My compost heap, 2m from my window, is flourishing with native UK wildflowers, none of which I planted. At any given moment, I can look out and see between 2 and 7 bees of various species and I am utterly in love.
As a biologist in California, thank you so much for spreading the word on planting native pollinator species! Many native species, such as the monarch butterfly, depend on native plant speies to thrive, in this case milkweed.
In addition to helping pollinators, removing turf grass reduces water consumption and natives don’t need heavy fertilization, which contributes to water pollution. My neighbors don’t like me, but the insects, birds and small mammals that visit my property to feed upon and live within the reconstructed native habitat more than make up for the human contempt.
I'm in Kentucky, the state gave out some kind of bush years back. I planted them. They spread like wildfire and when in bloom attract bees more than anything. Thanks for making this video.
in IL Monsanto sent out people to steel bees from a multiy generation Bee farmer , because his Bees were Round up Ready Resistint claim a disease was the reason to take the bees, but the farmer new that disease and had no was to stop them from steel the bees he grew with his family .
Yes, while this is a lovely idea (and more than "worthwhile"), I might surmise that: you are unaware of such things as: "neighborhood standards" (particularly in developments and suburban neighborhoods) as well as (or, perhaps, all (🤷) enforced via zoning laws [which, sadly, are NOT solely used to demarcate what regions can contain commerical or residential (or given combinations of those & others) buildings!]. The monoculture of "a lawn" is, not only, a standard in vast areas of the U.S., but. in fact: enforced by legal means! Oh, yes. There are places where you can be removed/forced off of property you OWN (or, at minimum: fined into the poor house! 🙄🤦) IF you do something like: NOT maintain your lawn (keep it a certain height and "quality" - looking "healthy") or for having any other plants ON your property (at least: at the street-side !🤦🤷🙄). Often, special dispensations are required, to plant a tree, or bushes ...certainly flowers (sone neighbor may complain that: their pets, or children!! 🙄😡😡 "are allergic" to a given species (certainly indigenous plants -although the vast majority of U.S. homeowners would NOT KNOW what plants are, or are NOT, indigenous/natural to their neighborhoods/general areas! They HAVE NEVER SEEN them in their natural states!!!! - ALL have been "redesigned" and "plotted out" to be 🤷🤷🤷🤦🙄 ...some, idiotically-mistermed version of (what will be commonly referred to as) "asthetically pleasing" 🙄🙄🤦😡😡🤬🤬 - I mean, apparently, according to SOMEONE, it is?¿🤷🤷🤷🤦😡🤬. So, this is a simple, valid, wonderful idea: which the ignorance and idiocy of the people, themselves and those legal whores they have pushed forward to act as their "lawmakers" and "leaders" (🙄🙄🙄🖕👎😡🤬), have made amorally "illegal " and so problematic (at LEAST!!) as to: likely, be rejected, outright, but certainly: prevented from being acted upon (certainly: never in the way you describe & suggest). Yes. This is the dungpile we have been forced to accept as "real"/"our lives." 😡👎👎👎🤬🖕 Thank you for the wisdom. As usual: the ignorant and the ignorance of their "legal systems" is, actively, already, crapping on it. -😡🤬👎 [**tears**]
