You Freepers shouldn't criticize these Libtards too much ... because they really meant well.

And, of course, planting wildflowers has nothing to do with saving bees. They, the bees, are having their populations decimated by a bacterial infection. They will, of course, survive. Bees have been around for hundreds of millions of years, since the first flowering plants. They are not stupid about bacteria.

In the Petersen guide to wild flowers, such plants are listed as “alien”

There are many including dandelions

Like sending Scotch broom seeds to WA; but here’s a list of what’s noxious weeds in WA: https://plants.usda.gov/java/noxious?rptType=State&statefips=53 I thought that “policeman’s helmet was interesting.

Not sure I really appreciate all the caterwauling over “invasive” species. I suspect introductions have been happening throughout history with or without man’s help.

As far as bees go, probably the single biggest contributing factor to hive death is the massive movement of large numbers of hives to California to pollinate almonds, then moving them back. Creates an opportunity for diseases to spread. The next big thing is probably commercial operations with hundreds of hives in close proximity.

The assumption is that the article is correct. No matter what anyone does to help there is always somebody there to bitch.

How much did this marketing campaign set back the shareholders. Now, it is getting bad press.

Reminds me of the Osborne tire reef. Yes, this was deliberate...environmentalist 'experts' thought it was a good idea at the time:

There's one problem with Cheerios' charitable effort, however: some of the wildflower species included in the packet of seeds can do serious damage to various ecosystems across the US, reports Lifehacker.

The problem with libtards is that they [over]react before getting ALL the facts, and just hear what they want to hear.

Ever since General Mills jumped into the pro-homosexual lobbying game, I have worked to AVOID their products.

So if I can, I do...they should have just shut their mouths and made foodstuffs.

General Mills, like most large corporations, feel their marketing saviors exist in the form of millennials. I’m picturing the image of the editorial staff at Huff Po right now.

What ever happened to the African queen bee invasion scare that was to decimate the honey bees?
