If you live on planet Earth and want to combat bee decline, there are a few easy actions you can take to strengthen your local bee population, even though it will probably result in my eventual death.

Three summers ago, I discovered I am highly allergic to bee stings. What gave it away was me almost dying.

Alas, as I’m sure you know, bees are currently on the ropes viz. challenges from mites, various bacterial and viral diseases, and, of course, pesticides. In British Columbia, the mortality rate for bees is about 50% every year. If you don’t have a lawn, you might have a patio or balcony or nearby vacant lot for planting bee-friendly flowers. Let’s be honest — plants are not all that discerning so long as they get regular sunshine and coffee, if I remember my high school biology class correctly.

No more spreading fertilizer pellets, or applying pesticides and herbicides! In fact, don’t spray anything, except maybe processed coffee when the official, wife-sanctioned bathroom is too far away if-you-know-what-I-mean-and-I-think-you-do.
