Yet, bee populations have dropped globally over recent decades due to:
habitat loss climate change excessive use of pesticides Our fertiliser plan promotes healthier ecosystems, which are essential for bees’ survival.
On this #WorldBeeDay, we urge governments, organisations and citizens to help save these precious creatures.
We need to keep our bees busy and well!
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. Honeybees don't need saving; that would be like saying we have to save the birds and we start with the chicken.
"Keeping hives to save bees is like keeping chickens to save birds"

What about banning Glyphosat? -

Good to see the EU Commission's move to Mastodon has resulted in the development of excellent memes.

@EUCommission If you really mean this, the EC should take action to tighten the laws regarding the use of pesticides. But it seems you're planning the opposite. https://www.pan-europe.info/press-releases/2025/12/eu-commission-retreats-worst-plan-still-opens-door-unlimited-pesticide

@EUCommission The right half doesn't describe Mastodon, but LinkedIn.

@riggbeck @EUCommission Meh. It's just the LinkedIn meme ham-fistedly shoehorned onto Mastodon.
Political orgs trying to communicate online are hilarious. Can you imagine any other language where they'd go "we don't need a translator, I'll just make similar noises and they'll accept us as one of their own"?

I love the image, but the "excessive use of pesticides" is absolutely something the EU commission could and should be doing something about. Ban glyphosate, please.

The Mastodon version would be "I installed Linux on this dandelion in my organic permaculture farm and set up a bash script that automatically extracts nectar every 6 hours"
Also, the bee is neurodivergent

AND lack of biodiversity due to large fields with one single type of vegetables.
Imagine of eating one single kind of food for your life; that would be a very poor nutritional diet -> not a long life. -

@EUCommission I don't get it what Mastodon has to do with bees.
Do you post similar things to suggest facebook, google or instagram are out of touch with reality, too?
Or,
Since you post it on mastodon, you want to show how you give in to silliness?This is too goolge for me - , err… meta. 🤯

@EUCommission Words on the one side and Action on the other my dear!
You know what we really do not like here in the Fedi? It’s liars!
EU-Kommission will Pestizide unbefristet zulassen
Die EU-Kommission will bestimmte Pflanzenschutzmittel wie beispielsweise Glyphosat künftig zeitlich unbegrenzt zulassen. Die bislang erforderlichen regelmäßigen Neuzulassungen sollen laut einem Gesetzesvorschlag aus Brüssel abgeschafft werden.

Another great #succesful post in that #flea #circus that is the #EU and the community manager of this account acting as a track manager.
Does the community manager ever heard about the Bayer - Monsanto rigged buying to past approval of the carcinogenic #RoundUp.
Yeah! Your fleas became giants again.
