I understand your post, I think.
I can’t stand killing things for the sake of killing them.
Take bees for instance. They don’t bother me and there are hundreds in the garden every day. There is a large group of bee hives about 1/2 mile from the house.
They are for the growers but the bees ignore the territory.
So I am outside last week and a friend is spraying the garden with Bee and Wasp poison. I started yelling “What the Hell are doing?!”.
She didn’t want bees around for her party and thought someone might get stung.
I told her she was crazy. Bee’s know they only have one life and their supreme job is protect the hive. Unless they are agitated they aren’t going to sting and even then it’s only going to be one loose nut ball bee who deserves to die.
I asked her stop and I started flapping my hands through the flowers and all the bees.
I said “See, Nothing. They aren’t going to sting you”.
She just kept spraying.
Dang that made me mad.
I pick them little guys up when they get lost in the house and put em outside so they can find their way home.
My yard is about 40 % clover. My neighbors have nearly no clover. I let my yard grow through a clover bloom cycle ... and one of my neighbors chides me for not cutting my grass rfegularly. I tried to explain the bloom cycle of clover, but she could care less. Tennessee lost an approximate $700,000 million in revenue in 2008 due to bee decline in pollinations.
