I like a nice yard and flower garden, but I admit I thought the prettiness of flowers was more optional than something more useful like a vegetable garden. But I watched this talk and learned that our urban and suburban concrete have taken away the natural wildflowers that bees need to be healthy and...alive. They need a steady supply all season, not just some tulips in the spring. Without bees we don't get pollination. And without pollination ...well, that would just be bad.
I'm gonna do my part! Plant more flowers!
