Please read the whole newsletter, but my letter is on page 3!

My pleasure 🐝

Honey bees destabilize regional ecosystems by out-competing native bees. Honey bees monopolize resources that specialist native bees need and then in response to this the local flora changes, making plants that native bees rely on scarcer. Honey bees can also spread disease to local bee populations

Love that! We often don’t get a look at native bees or don’t recognize them, but they are so cool

Oh absolutely! Most important thing they do and are highly underrated for their specialist skills.

I didn’t think you meant otherwise, I was just emphatically agreeing about why the bees are important! I’m sorry if it came off otherwise

Especially our native bees! Honey is lovely and all, but honey bees are an invasive agricultural crop imported here relatively recently. We need our specialist native bees to thrive as part of the unique ecosystems in our province!

Exactly! And no matter how much any MPP or MP has given from their own pockets, it doesn’t address the actual problem (which is, imo, systemic poverty and oppression). Individual acts of kindness matter but that’s not what these folks are doing; they’re trying to seem generous to get political clout

Textbook definition of “terrifyingly beautiful”, in my opinion

Wow… Such BS being peddled by our own “Trump Light” (Except his policies aren’t “light”; Pollievre just uses more coherent wording than Trump does)
