A tree is like a quiet roommate, but makes a huge mess before leaving to travel internationally for half the year.

I really fucked up my lawn by putting red clover down in addition to white. Red clover is perineal and grows tall and falls flat on its side. It decays into this horrible straw like shit. I hate it. Horrible horrible decision.

Because it's sort of fucked for a few years I guess, I've been a lot more hands off with leaves. Because hey, even if it kills off some of the stuff there then that's fine by me. I think I only mowed once this year. I only blow leaves off the driveway and onto the yard.

This summer I'll see the fruits of my labor. I'm really curious to see if there are substantially more fireflies.

Colony collapse was due to fungicides being sprayed in the day. -Bees don't need extra pollen (they have plenty of food to spare which is why we have honey as a product), and they don't need people's lawns (pick the leaves up before winter).

Leaving leaves is just being an asshole neighbor making safe paths for vermin to get into houses, and reduce the value of neighboring properties.

Bumble bees do not produce large amounts of honey.
They keep enough food for a couple of days bad weather, but otherwise they don't overproduce at all.
