Turns out spraying poison on everything for decades kills things. If you are older you remember fireflies at night. If you live in a rural area away from major farms you still see fireflies in your yard. You also hate driving at night in the summer because this still happens. Cities and suburbs are ecologically barren.

Can’t wait for them to kill every bee on Earth and thereby destroy the entire food chain, forcing seven billion to die and enslaving the survivors to their industrial production of artificial “food” substitutes, available only in cities.

I'm actually interested in trying bee keeping.

I don't really *like* bees, and especially hate the hornet bees that have the underground hives, but would be willing to smoke 'em all up to get large swaths of fresh bee honey. Would probably be one of healthiest things i could eat or use as sweetener. And the wax probably has utility uses. Plus i would have pollinators for my garden, maximizing fruit yield.

*Local* honey is also a completely natural antihistamine, too. If you have seasonal allergies, eating honey derived from the plants/flowers where you live will protect you against those reactions.

But ... but I bought a Tesla. I use all the color-coded recycle bins. I use my own poop as compost.

I voted to let the IRS take more of my paycheck to change the weather and save the planet! 😭

I still think the loss of bugs has more to do with urban sprawl than agriculture. Where I'm from there's no farming but huge development and I've noticed a lot of bug losses.

Maybe the bugs have gotten smarter and simply stopped going near highways

> The Environmental Protection Agency has cleared the release of 2.4 billion genetically-modified mosquitoes in California and Florida. The mosquitoes, created by biotech firm Oxitec, will be non-biting Aedes aegypti males engineered to only produce viable male offspring, per the company.

Cars are also more aerodynamic, more insects probably fly over the car.
