It's good the Nature Restoration Law passed but it has been so badly gutted. So sad to see those @FineGael signed Amendments passed - difficult to understand just how bad they are...

Pretty pup with more pretty pollinator petals! #gardening #garden #Flowers #dogsofmastodon #Pollinators #GoldenRetriever

Our pretty for the pollinators side of the garden is starting to go off! #gardening #harden #Flowers #Pollinators

Rocket took off and went to flower. It can stay that way, the insects are loving it! #Pollinators #Insects #Gardening

I love to watch the pollinators in the summertime busily going about their work.

Most crops depend, in part, on pollination. Without them, most of our food wouldn't exist 💪🐝

‘Bear in mind that honey bee keeping is a lovely and informative hobby, but it is not a contribution to nature conservation. The western honey bee, to the extent that it is kept in hives, … despite media reports to the contrary, is not under threat. A hive of 40,000 bees will deplete floral resources that could otherwise feed 40,000 wild solitary pollinators, many of which are at risk of extinction. (This is not even taking into account the fact that honey bees harvest more nectar and pollen than most other species of bees because of their habit of storing large quantities of food.) So… moderation is important…

However, the efforts of celebrities to "help pollinators" by setting up large numbers of honey bee colonies on their estates, or of many cities to encourage the placement of hundreds of hives on buildings' roofs, while well intentioned, are detrimental to many native pollinators.’
