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.

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.

Warum gibt es die Meldung, daß die europäische Commission den Bauern helfen will, da die Düngemittel knapp werden???
