Good Riddance: The Great Pollinator Disaster
Disappearing honeybees and a virtual birthday bash for yours truly later today.
Hi friends, welcome back to our weekly series, Good Riddance, where we gather in the comments every Saturday to let something go from the week before, no matter how big or small.
In the spring of 2020 I took up a hobby I had been longing to get into since I was a little girl: gardening. I dreamed of growing my own fruits and vegetables, learning which herbs grow best with which plants, how best to fertilize, and which flowers attract the most pollinators. One of the first things I learned on my gardening journey was taught to me by the presence of bees. When they started showing up in the late spring, it meant I was doing something right, and soon the plants they pollinated would yield small bounties of strawberries, tomatoes, squash, and many other varieties of fresh produce, herbs, and flowers growing on my back porch in Brooklyn.
