The honey bee is an invasive species.

It’s a great idea. We need more giveaways like this. Just cover the United States in food. I’m all for that

My daughter said she has ordered some. I pointed out that (a) we have flower seeds in the garage already and (b) if the plants them in the yard, Epic Fail Lawn Service will run the down with mower, and (c) where did she think she was going to plant them?

We grow many kinds of flowers in order to attract birds and butterflies.

Honey bees are extremely fascinating creatures. I am very glad God made them

I like honey bees, they are fun to watch and we need them. Further, I’ve talked to honey producers and there is a problem.

With that said, 100 million seeds is a great idea and very commendable, but it’s only about 7 tons or less. Meaning it will not put a dent in the problem at all. It’s more of a publicity/marketing ploy than it is about honey bees.

I thought the honey bee on the box was replaced by “corny”, the high fructose corn syrup mascot!
