While I support this initiative – who doesn't want less pesticides, cleaner waterways, more nature – #WorldBeeDay is about all the other bees, whose numbers are plummeting hand in hand with habitat loss.

A bit of bee video from a couple of days ago. They're finding some bright orange/yellow pollen and probably still working the goldenrod.
