Great, more commie libshit faggot kike retards moving here from kike infested long island. Im sure they welcome somali niggers too. Hope they get buried on top of their flower patch and some new owners mow it down and build a hockey rink. Go home fat retards. You know how i know these people are absolute garbage? Their fucking last name is a kike name and look at that semetic face. This website (in the op, not upgoat)is pure libshit propaganda. Durrr look at da beautiful flowers……..planted by kikes too fucking lazy to mow their own goddamned grass!

That's awesome. I know how excited I get when I get to watch my flowers bloom. It's really a great feeling and it obviously gives back to nature if it brings in bees. Awesome post lady, thank you. I needed to see something like this before bed.

With all these fine techniques you use, why are you such a poor gardener?

When it takes 4-5 hours it tends to get tiring. And at the end of mowing day, I start thinking how to change stuff for when I'm older and can no longer do that in 120f heat.

Grass is free. My father taught me. You can find grass anywhere and just look for the the grass you want. Then just take a sample of it. The size of your hand. Dirt and all. Take it home and pot it and add dirt and let it grow. Then you can transplant start dividing it. In just 6 months you could have a whole new lawn.

I also know how to mow stripes into a lawn.

Interesting but how do you get it to expand outward? I understand cloning of plants and shrubs but dont know how to do some grass propagation techniques.

Honestly that's more useful than starting a bee hive. The whole reason why the bees were dying off is that a mixture of being transported around (causing different colonies to cross over the same territory), and chemicals, basically set up a situation where the carrying capacity for bee colonies is less than the number we have. So adding new hives isn't going to help.

Adding more food free from pesticide actually helps.

A little bit of information about the flowers you are planting will help tremendously, if you want to do something like this. Honeybees will stop at almost all the flowers, but all the flowers don't necessarily provide food for the bees.
If you want to do something like this you should first find out what flowers will have the nectar that the bees need.
If those flowers don't make the nectar that the bees eat they will be flying all over that field going from flower to flower starving.

Good reminders, thanks! It's also helpful to plant native flowers so you don't mess with the ecology (just as planting invaders here is no good for our society).

It shouldnt cost 1.5k to have a meadow like that.

ah yes, White people things. Here's hoping they didn't move from a liberal shithole and bring their values with them

Turns out they were kikes so nevermind. Long Island --> Vermont is a wash. There are lots of conservatives on Long Island but they aren't exactly looking for liberal enclaves like Vermont to exercise any real freedoms.
