⚠ Early yard cleanup could wipe out an entire generation of native pollinators! 🐝
- 80% of native bees nest in dead plant stems
- One stem can house up to 20 pollinator larvae
- Early cleanup destroys 6 months of bee development
What's Really Living in a "Messy" Yard:
1. Hidden Residents:
- Mason bee cocoons
- Leafcutter bee nests
- Native wasp larvae
- Beneficial predator eggs
2. Critical Areas to Protect:
🌿 Hollow plant stems
🍂 Leaf litter piles
🌱 Standing perennials
🌸 Seed heads
3. How to Help:
- Wait until May to clean up
- Leave 15" stem heights
- Create brush piles
- Mark pollinator areas
YOUR ACTION PLAN:
✅ Stop all cleanup until 50°F consistent temps
✅ Bundle and store cut stems
✅ Create "pollinator corners"
✅ Educate your neighbors
A messy yard is a thriving ecosystem!

"just occurred to me that of course conservatives who are fearmongering about trans kids think progressive parents must be forcing this on their kids and programming them into accepting it - because that's how they relate to their children, with authoritarianism"

"Basically, the concept of the phrase is that, regardless of whether or not the author is consciously choosing to do so, all art is a response to *someone* or *something*

Art is a decision to communicate made in response to a given context. Ai art, by contrast, is both decontextualized and devoid of decision."
