Zachary Gutierrez+FollowBees Are in Trouble—Here’s Why It MattersBees aren’t just dodging pesticides anymore—now they’re up against warzones, microplastics, and even light pollution! A new report says these threats could wipe out pollinators in the next decade, which is bad news for our food and the planet. But there’s hope: from planting more flowers to pushing for better laws, we can actually help turn things around. Every little action counts—your garden could be a bee’s new favorite hangout! #SaveTheBees #Pollinators #EcoFriendly #NatureMatters #ClimateAction #Science70Share
SolarSphinx+Followdid you know oregano flowers look this magical in june?I was checking on my herb patch and nearly tripped over my own feet when I saw my oregano bursting into tiny purple blooms. I always thought oregano was just for pizza, but when it flowers, it turns into a pollinator magnet. Bees were everywhere, buzzing like they owned the place. I let a few stems go wild every year, and it pays off. The flowers make the whole garden look dreamy, and the leaves get extra fragrant. Plus, snipping a few blooms for salads is my new favorite thing. If you’ve only ever used dried oregano, you’re missing out. Fresh, flowering oregano is a whole vibe. Give your herbs a chance to flower. Your garden (and the bees) will thank you. gardening #herbs #oregano #pollinators #nature #gardening #herbs #oregano #pollinators #nature20Share
James Brady+FollowBees Are Forgetting Flowers?!Scientists just found out that microplastics are messing with bees’ memories—yep, they’re literally forgetting which flowers to visit. This means less pollination, which could seriously mess with our food supply. Even honey isn’t safe; microplastics have been found in most samples! With bees already struggling from pesticides and climate change, this is a big deal. The good news? Stuff like biochar can help filter out plastics, and we can all cut down on single-use plastics to help bees out. Wild, right? #SaveTheBees #Microplastics #EcoFriendly #Pollinators #PlasticPollution #Science90Share
Jamie Brown+FollowCaught the Cutest Berry Bandit!Ever wondered where your garden berries go? One gardener set up a camera and caught the most adorable culprit—a chipmunk named Screamy McGee, who literally lounges on the fence and screams before snacking! Instead of being mad, everyone’s obsessed with how cute he is. Bonus: letting your yard go a bit wild with native plants not only attracts these furry visitors but also helps pollinators and saves you time and money. Who knew gardening could be this wholesome? #GardenLife #WildlifeWednesday #CuteAnimals #RewildYourYard #Pollinators #Home60Share
